Hi I'm a medical student from London :) I was born in Hong Kong but lived in Shanghai during my early childhood. Have been living in UK since I was 6!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1) Instead of staying in hotels and just going to the standard touristy places a normal traveller would do, Couchsurfing allows you to meet up and connect with local people and enjoy your travels through a local perspective. I love learning about new cultures and also just meeting/making friends with people from all walks of life.

2) I am still a university student, and Couchsurfing does help with reducing my expenses aha :)

Interests

1) Food - I love trying out new cuisine! I also tend to watch a lot of food and travel shows aha
2) Anything sporty/outdoorsy - especially football, hockey, running, cycling, hiking; I've been playing competitive hockey for more than 10 years now
3) Travelling + Exploring new places
4) Meeting new people and having good conversations :)
5) Going out for a beer, clubbing
6) Photography

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Harry Potter series (although I didn't really like the 5th movie aha), everything from Christopher Nolan

TV series: Breaking Bad, The Office US, Community, Game of Thrones, Black Mirror, Suits ...

Music: RnB, Hip Hop but I listen to all genres! (love Hans Zimmer's work aha - especially for the ending sequence in Nolan's Inception) - Stuff I like now: The Weeknd, Childish Gambino, The Chainsmokers, Kodaline, Kygo etc.

Books: J.K Rowling, Stephen King, Haruki Murakami, George Orwell (I use to read aloooooot but haven't really had the time lately but if you have any good suggestions lemme know!)

Yes, I am a huge Harry Potter fan :D
