About Me

I am a 27 years old who has been working in a Hong Kong hospital. On a fateful day last year, I left my job and started travelling.

I have a rather laid back travelling style. I tend to travel to a new place with accommodation unbooked and stay till I feel like leaving. I also enjoy doing things I enjoy eg boardgame with people, rather than visiting all the touristy spots and tick off the boxes.

I love the nature and outdoor activities. Recently did a four day cycling in Japan, six day hike in Melbourne, week hike in Sweden. I learnt about cross country skiing in Sweden, and I hope I could one day learn do alpine skiing/camping in the Nordics.

Learnt about couchsurfing recently and that sounded like an awesome way of travelling :) I am unable to host yet, but would be more than happy to do so once I return to Hong Kong and have more free time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading “a man’s search for meaning” lately.
Some books I found interesting recently:
The origin of (almost) everything, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, The Three-Body Problem, The Lucifer Effect, Norwegian Wood
Also been trying to read a book in Japanese: 天国の旅人

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’m rather proud of myself assembling everything from scratch and taking on the week hike in Melbourne with no prior camping experience
I hitchhiked from Kraków to Cluj-Napoca last month!

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m pretty bad with everything and I don’t know if I can teach anything… Learning Japanese and struggling with the European rolled R
