About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to meet friends and expose to different cultures

ABOUT ME

I am a passionate, easy-going, energetic and open-minded Hong Kong girl. I love travelling and meeting lots of friends from different countries. I personally enjoy meeting new local people when I travel.

I believe that everyone is unique and has their own values so there are always things we can learn from each other. So I am always staying humble and curious with things and people around me. Knowledge is the biggest strength and treasure that everyone can gain through continuous learning. So stay hungry and stay foolish, always challenge yourself and meanwhile be generous to share your knowledge with other people. :)

I hate sticking to bureaucracy and being restricted by the rules. I emphasize freedom and human right. I guess this may be why I am not that kind of rule-abiding girl and never stay at my own comfort zone.

I am also expressive and quite straightforward. As long as you are interested, I will be happy to tell you what I think and what I know.

Hope I can have a chance to be one of your friends:)

PHILOSOPHY

Die without regret.
Happiness is a direction, not a destination.
