About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To connect.

ABOUT ME

Ex-Berliner.

I write Cantopop music. I was a radio DJ, now getting involved with the TV industry. I am also a freelance translator and digital marketer. I also write articles for blogs and magazines.

Alright enough about boring work stuff. Drinking is my number one priority during leisure time. In fact I've been partying so hard now I get to bring guests into clubs for free. That's literally "work hard, play hard" lol.

But I'm much more than a party animal. I enjoy conversations on various subjects with people who like to share themselves. I always want to connect. I like to travel a lot and I've met many good friends along the way. When I can't travel I'll get involved in CS and also drinking with random people at a pub crawl or something. Good things do follow if you're willing to open yourself.

I can keep on spilling magic keywords about myself, although I think you should be the judge of them: open-minded, nice, kind, flexible, good drinker, enjoy companies and surprises...

PHILOSOPHY

Love is all you need. Music is what love sounds like.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been hosted for more than a dozen times in Europe, America and Asia. I end up meeting a lot of new friends, some of whom have even become my best mates.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I usually end up being friends with my hosts and even their friends. I was able to see more than half of the people I've met before at least once again.

Interests

Music, movies, travel, drinking, books, spirituality and self improvement, in-depth conversations. In short, to connect.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving in Interlaken, Switzerland.
Party inside a former studio where Depeche Mode recorded an album.
Circled Iceland. Dipped in hot spring at -7 degree Celsius and saw Northern Light at the same time. Left Iceland less than 24 hours before a volcano eruption.
Hang out with Hollywood celebrities in LA.

(I do know this column is meant for ONE thing only but I simply can't choose the best one and hey, why should I limit myself of such wonderful times?)

Teach, Learn, Share

I will not hesitate but to introduce you what Hong Kong really is, and how it is different from China. (Yes please don't call me Chinese, I'm a Hong Kongese.) I can share my experiences in music making. I can also teach you some basic Cantonese too.

First we'll share a great talk. Then we'll share a great time.
