Translator and music lover born and raised in Hong Kong now living in Manchester, England. When I’m not doing translation work in my bedroom, you’ll find me reading in my living room, rocking back and forth at gigs, laughing with tears at standups, drinking with friends at pubs, taking long walks in the nature and taking photos with my minolta.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend of mine is a long time host in London and continues to do so after he moved to Hong Kong. He introduced me to CS and I’ve had the pleasure of taking his CSers out for some local treats. I find it a really good way to explore the culture of a place which is the ultimate goal of traveling. Being a frequent traveler myself I decided to become a part of this community as well.
