About Me

CURRENT MISSION

As a Photographer, I wanna shoot a travel portrait documentary!!!!!

ABOUT ME

I am a graduate student of New York Hofstra University . I CAN SPEAK fluently CANTONESE AND MANDARIN. I really like to play tennis. Actually I think travelling can make a person get a wider thoughts about everything. I like meeting people because I would love to listen your story. Once you start traveling, you will never stop.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't hesitate to do anything. Because once you give up that, you will have no idea when will you have a chance to do it again. Besides, at first I am not that kind of person with a brave heart because I will feel unsafe if I travel alone. But now, I think myself become more brave and try to leave something value when I am young.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first time to try couchsurfing because my friends recommend to me about this websites. Always I chose a hostel to stay in because I didn't heard about couchsurfing before. More importantly, now I become a photographer in Hawaii and sometime in New York. I would love meeting up with new people and shoot a photo for you as well as listen to your stories. I wanna do something like Humans in New York. Would you like to join me!

Interests

Sport activities such as tennis and basketball are my favorite. And photography definitely takes up most of my time in my life. I started my own photography studio in Hawaii for wedding and portrait. I endeavor in capturing the most interesting moments in my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Actually I like music and movies. But the most important thing is that I always forgot the names of actors and name of songs. But i would like to meet friends they have a sense of understanding about movies and lives. Because I think everyone they have their own sense of feelings about life. And I WANT TO BE MATURE by understanding more about different thoughts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I did and never felt regret is that this year I participated in AIESEC VOLUNTEER in Poland. I met so many new friends all over the world and had a really great communication with them. And the other thing i did this year is that I finally went to Greece even though i went alone. But I really enjoy meeting new friends in journey.

Teach, Learn, Share

Actually, I really want to know more about languages when I am in a new country. Because you feel really successful you can communicate with others in their languages. I exchanged in Poland, at least I can use a basic greetings and conversation. And the other thing I want to share is our culture and different opinions about the world. Last, I really love photography and tennis. I hope I can find someone have the same hobbies.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Now I live in Hawaii sometimes in New York. I would love to share traveling experience and photography with my host or while meeting up. The most interesting thing I wanna do is I would like to shoot a portrait for everyone I met to record your story. If possible, I want to make it like a travel documentary film.
