Hello, I am new here!

I am a student, studying film and literature analysis. When I am not studying, I think about my next meal.

I used to be a barista and at that time I developed this habit of drinking three double expressos every single day.

Right now I work in an party planning company. For some reasons I am the only employee there so it's pretty chilled.

I'm really laid back, prefer the underground scene to more mainstream culture. I work in art galleries in Hong Kong before and have a keen interest in art and film.

Since studying at HKU I've met a lot of international students and they have inspired me to travel the world as a solo traveller.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get out of the tourist bubble and actually meet some locals/fellow adventurers who care more about learning the culture of the country they are visiting than taking a selfie with the wonders of the world.

CS seems like a great way to exchange stories, find out more about the world I live in and countries/places I would like to visit. I can also share with my hosts my own experiences.

Why I'm NOT on Couchsurfing:
- To get laid
- To use hosts like a hostel without any interaction with my host

Interests

I kind of covered this in my about me... but yeah having worked in an art gallery in Hong Kong and studying film shows my interest in both of these fields.

I also really love going on random adventures spontaneously.

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie, electronic, reggae, drum&bass, jazz, classical... pretty much everything, especially music from the old times. Big fan of going to live shows and seeing what the local music scene is like in new cities I visit.

Avid reader of all kinds of literature. Currently reading "No one belongs here more than you" by Miranda July

Film - as a film student where do I even begin.. I really like Trainspotting and Ron Fricke's documentaries e.g. Samsara, but I am interested in all genres. Some of my favourite directors; Wes Anderson, Xavier Dolan, Wong Kar-wai, Jim Jarmusch, Jia Zhangke, Tsai Ming-liang

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walk really fast in Amsterdam and pretend I ain't a tourist.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach Cantonese, English and Mandarin, interested in learning French and Dutch which I've recently started studying.

I love to cook and I really want to learn how to cook new types of cuisine!

Share fabulous travel stories!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good chat I reckon.
Oh I am a good cook too.
