About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Become a Great Travel Videographer

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Hong Kong, one of the most busy and beautiful city in the world. Always curious about things happening around..

Recently just done a huge hitchhiking trip from Berlin to Hong Kong. It's definitely a life changing experience. Would love to share more if I meet you in person

I want more people to know, life is about chasing adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Somebody's gonna do it. Why not me?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to share my story with new friends.. especially with nice food. That's why I trained myself to be a good cook so that i can travel with my lovely dishes.

I love to learn from my host or surfer's passion. If you're a dancer, please teach me how to dance. Life is all about sharing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There isn't even one bad experience so far. It makes me appreciate the randomness in life.

Interests

Sports!!
Running takes a big part in my life. I used to be a hardcore lacrosse player in University actually. Besides I also enjoy playing some general sports like Climbing, Basketball, Football

Cooking!!
I have been learning Chinese Cuisine since I came to Berlin. You need knowledge in Science to know how to cook things well. Its a well blend of Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
On the other hand, it touches your taste. It creates feelings and recalls memories, just like a piece of Art..
To me, it's Architecture :)

Music!!
Jam with me. As I couldn't travel with my guitar, I would be crazy if you have one. Or piano also works fine. Practicing a song together is one of the best way to build a friendship!
