About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be a better person

ABOUT ME

I am from Hong Kong and currently an audio engineer based in New York.
I am a musician, violinist, composer, audio engineer, music technologist, love arts, love exploring something new, love traveling.
I am cheerful, optimistic and easy going. Sometimes I will be ridicoulous because I love to have unrealistic idea in my mind.

I love to learn new things, I think couchsurfing is the best way for me to meet people from all walks of life and learn new culture. I think these experiences are more valuable than simply visiting a city then another. I wish I can learn from different people and know more about the world.

Apart from music, I am interested in all kinds of arts, drama, handcrafts, movies, calligraphy, etc. I am willing to share my music and handmade accessories with anyone who like them (probably girls will have more interest in haha)

PHILOSOPHY

I say I can so I can
Everything you learnt and experienced are the only treasure belong to you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had my first busking trip with my friends in 4 cities in Eastern Europe (Budapest, Vienna, Prague and Krakow) in the summer of 2014. During the trip, I first tried couch surf and all the hosts brought me great experience. After that, I think I will do couch surf for my trip afterwards instead of living in a hostel or hotel, not only because of the budget but also for a better way to experience the city I am traveling.

During my stay in Valencia, I took the advantage of being in Europe. I backpacked alone to Norway, Sweden, France, Poland and Lithuania and met a lot of new friends through couch surfing. I love to share these experiences with people if you want to listen!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time for me to couch surf was my trip to Eastern Europe (Budapest, Vienna, Prague and Krakow). This first experience really brought me a lot of surprise. I can't imagine I can experience not only the beauty of the city I visited but also the kindness of the local people. I still have not had a chance to host people yet. I think couch surf is a great and remarkable experience in my trip. I am sure that I will try to host once I back to my home city! I look forward to meet new friends!

Unfortunately I work everyday and not be able to explore the city with you if you stay with me.
