About Me

I am a medical student in the UK. Born and raised in Hong Kong, I decided to move to the UK to pursue my interest, medicine. Raised in different cultures has made me an open-minded person which eventually made me start my travelling journey.

Dogs, travelling, and food are my favourite things on earth. They are soul-soothing.

I am often excessively caffeinated - a local expert or any opinion on the cafe and coffee scene would be greatly appreciated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people in the locality and fellow travellers. Who else would be better in introducing me to new cultures and histories than the locals? And what can be better to hang out with someone who would share your views of travelling in a new city?

How can I not mention the financial advantage of couchsurfing when I can save some money and reinvest in the next trip?

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

*I'm not good at advice. May I interest you in a sarcastic comment instead?*

I would love to share my own travel stories, but would be more than happy to discuss anything. Keeping an open mind is basically the quintessence of travelling.
