CURRENT MISSION

To learn and experience the world, culture, and life

ABOUT ME

I describe myself as an introvert person with strange sense of humour.

I am originally from and grew up in Hong Kong so I speak Cantonese, English, little bit of Mandarin Chinese. Right now I am trying to learn some Japanese and German. I have been settling in the United States for almost 9 years.

I have been a vegetarian for the last five years. I believe that human should try to reach a harmony with the nature, instead of trying to dominate the nature. I believe dominating the nature is not sustainable way of life, because one can never have enough greed.

I really like bicycle. It gives me a sense of freedom without having to input much carbon dioxide onto the atmosphere. It is also a good form of cardio exercise as well.

I like the nature and I like to enjoy it from different angles. I also like big cities and the cultural exchange of it too. That is why I am currently living in Seattle because it is a good balance of both.

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, cling, camping, hiking, running, or swimming. I am not very sporty, but I enjoy cardio exercises.

I also like reading, listening to different kinds of music, and enjoying interesting conversations with different people. I also like to learn different things and gain different perspectives

PHILOSOPHY

I think people should strive for their happiness, and to learn from each other, so to make the world better. Honestly is important than white lies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was introduced to CS by my roommate back in Colorado. I think it is a brilliant idea as it allows people from all over the world to share their cultures and ideas to people across the globe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfing experience in the USA, Germany, and Spain, and Belgium. I have so much positive experiences, get to know some people from across the world and exchanged ideas and cultures through discussions.
