About Me

I'm still a university student from Hong Kong. I love travelling around and meeting new friends. So, any problems on Hong Kong sightseeing or other stuff or just chit chat are very welcome.

I have been studying in the North side of Germany for 2 years. My major is digital media and minor is popular music studies. It is one of the biggest moment of my life and I love the experience I have got throughout the time!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling very much. I want to meet different kinds of people, as much as I can. So, no need to be shy and free feel to inbox me for any matters:)

Interests

I am so interested with design. My dream is to studying in Miami AD School, however I'm still not yet achieved my dream.

I also love taking nice photographs and then print the out. My room is full of the photos that I took before during my travel. I started to use film camera to take photos too!

I don't know why but I really love enjoying sightseeing in castles, maybe there are no castle in Hong Kong or I watched too many Disney cartoon when I was small.

Music, Movies, and Books

I got a lot of favourite music. I love listening to music, including every genres, like pop, eletro pop... - Lorde - Katy Perry - Zedd - Troye Sivan

For movies, I love watching documentaries, cartoons and romantic movies. My favourite movie recently is "Manchester by the Sea". I seldom read books but books about travel and psychology are also my preference.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Taiwan, I went to a hostel and be a helper there. I tried to clean the toilets and the whole building almost everyday. But I really enjoy the time because during that time I met a lot of new friends from a lot of countries. We played, chatted, did some stupid things together. I really miss the time there.

And also one unforgettable experience, once I was planned to stay and sleep in a train station in France, however because of the operation concept of Hong Kong, I thought the main station should be opened for 24 hours, but it was not at the end. I got kicked out from the station by the police. I really couldn't find any places that was available for 24 hours, and even the bus station waiting room. At the end I was sitting on the bench in the tram station in darkness and waiting for my bus for 4 hours long there, in cold weather. It was really a "great" experience to and I hope that I can get use to European culture as soon as possible so that I wont make the same mistake again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning how to cook good food now, because I'm living alone recently. I don't wanna just having frozen pizza everyday, although I love it so much. I can share the results I learnt from the recipes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can try to make good food with hosts, like asian food. When I am in Germany, I feel like people always misunderstand Hong Kong food or Chinese food. I also can do language exchange if you want, because I'm so interested in learning language too. I can speak Cantonese, which is the hardest language to learn in the world because we got 9 tones in one pronunciation, and Mandarin. So I can teach you some useful words:)

I love telling others about my country, especially food, the thing I love the most about my country.
