Be a better me.
ABOUT ME
- A friendly young professional from Hong Kong.
- I like exploring the nature, cooking nice food, walking around streets and music.
- I am quite a reflective person, so if the person clicks, we can really get into a deep and personal talk. But otherwise I'd also enjoy social chats.
- Past hosts found me not only a reliable guest at their home, but also a smart and sincere person.
- Alcohol is fine. Non-smoker.
PHILOSOPHY
- Capture each beautiful scene with my eyes. Remember everyone you meet.
- JUST RELAX AND ENJOY!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I googled couchsurfing, clicked the buttons and registered. Yeah.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I stayed in a canal house with my host in Amsterdam for six days in May 2014. We went to classical music concert and reviewed the days on his big sofa with drinks every night. We had a boat trip party with his couchsurfing friends. I even visited his office. That shows how I develop friendship with trust with him.
I also stayed with my host in Nice for four days in June 2014. We had a very good time - we cooked and drank together. My host brought me to two Madagascan friends' home for a welcoming party which I'd never forget. He also brought me around the old town and tried delicious French food. I still remember the French seafood soup...
I toured a Singaporean friend for two days in Hong Kong. Since he had been here for several times, I brought him to see the rather natural and cultural side of this cosmopolitan city. We walked along the bank of a reservoir, hiked to visit a waterfall and wandered around my university surrounded by trees and the sea. We also tried an activity about experiencing the blind life (Dialogue in the Dark), visited exhibitions about modern art and colonial public housing in Hong Kong.
I have not hosted anyone due to accommodation limitations. Housing problem is severe in Hong Kong.
Interests
*Music:
*Chitchatting
*Nature: this is what I found out after the graduation trip in Europe. I can sit beside a port for a full hour just looking at the beautiful sea. I enjoy seeing the reflections on a calm water surface which always adds colour and texture to a scenery. I like green things too.
*Sports: I used to swim a lot. Now I run and go to gym occasionally. I strive to keep myself fit so that everyone'd forget that I was a fat (obese) child.

Teach, Learn, Share
Forgive my laziness by copying the caption - "This is the beginnings of the future Couchsurfing University, a school where everyone's a student and everyone's a teacher." well-said.

Everything. Life stories, fitness and dieting tips, travelling experience, legal analysis, cooking (we can cook together), religion, music (sing and play ukulele), current affairs, bed and breakfast, basically everything.
