ABOUT ME

Couchsurfer [SINCE 2013]

Welcome to my profile and a warm welcome especially for couchsurfers who are visiting Hong Kong! Whether you are travelers visiting Hong Kong for the first time or tourists coming here for a visa run, I trust that you will find in this profile the information and ideas that reflect my passion to sharing the unique ‘Hong Kong stories and experiences’ with people from all over the world.

Since 2013, I have met more than 50 couchsurfers from 5 continents. Besides showing them unique places in Hong Kong that cannot be found on the tourist guide books, I also introduced real local food to them. If you want to get to know what Hong Kong is like before your visit, I suggest that you take a look of the following YouTube video from ‘expedia’.

I hope that you will find Hong Kong as exciting and enriching a place as I do. Enjoy your stay in Hong Kong!

PHILOSOPHY

8. “I always tried to be the first one in in the morning and the last one to leave at night, take the fewest vacations and the least time away from the desk to go to the bathroom or have lunch. You gotta be there. I mean, everybody says, ‘Oh, that’s crazy!’ But if you want to succeed, … you can’t control how lucky you are, you can’t control how smart you are, but you can control how hard you work, so that’s the first thing.” - Michael Bloomberg
