About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Always wanted to make some new friends when I travel or host. Just got a new motorbike in Hong Kong and am going to ride it a lot. Also trying to pick up some French and Japanese so I can speak the languages when I travel there.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Hong Kong and studied and worked in London and Sydney. Always curious, most of the time busy exploring, sometimes spontaneous. Into arts and design, motorcycle, architecture and indie music, also a a big fan of Rick and Morty!

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, play harder...and always pay it forward :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy making new friends and talking to new people.

Unfortunately I have just moved to a new place and it's not in a stage that can allow me to host anyone at the moment - but I hope things will change soon. I enjoy a few drinks after work with my gay friends who are really great to hang out with.

I'll be travelling to Switzerland in April so see you around!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few surfers in Hong Kong and was hosted a few times when I travelled.

Teach, Learn, Share

I wanna learn a little bit of guitar and some foreign language

If you paint, it'd be great if you could share with me how to master the acrylics
web design, simple coding and app writing and movie editing are skills that I would like to learn as well
