I m a chinese who grew up in hongkong. studed in UK up till university then now working in hongkong, my home town. Yea, my generation we don't generally said we are from china. Because my city were still in British colonies when we were child . but you can say I'm from china too ;)

I guess i m an easy going, adventurous, some time crazy person, as thats all my friends have told me. I love reading sci-fi or fiction, books or online. And i think i was a bit of a geek before as i was really into computer stuff and i m quite good at it. But for some reasons few yrs ago, I've changed into a person who ADDICTED to traveling, doing all kind of crazy sports wheneve, wherever i can !
I think due to my family background, or shall i say the lack of family background ...( my only family are my mother who stay in mainland china most of the time) so i have the time to traveling all over the world and making new friends.

I've jumped a few companies in hongkong as programer few years back. Quite well paid honestly, but really , and i mean reaaaaally boring. Then now am currently working as a marketing manager/manager for a small company which manufacturing handbags in china. mostly exported to the US. my job description required me to coordinate with our clients demands and our factory thought internet, or occasionally meet with person in charge once or twice a year.

i guess good thing about working in a small/private company is, i got pretty much free time my self, as long as i kept my company's clients happy, and usually small company paid more than a big company do, at least in hongkong case ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my past traveling. i mostly stay in the hotel or hostel depend on what countries I'm traveling to.
I have only just heard about couchsurfing during my recent visit in the US. only then i realized what i have been missing all these years !
the whole idea of couch-surfing are really excited me that i could meet lot of peoples along my travels. or even meet more friends in my home town when i host my couch ! I have given up watching TV in my dinner room long time ago, as i tend to spend most of my home time in font of my computer anyway, so my couch are pretty much a decoration to my house.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have read fair amounts of books when i was studying in the uk. right now i m busy with learn all kind of sports and acquiring new skill ( i will get to it later. :) but i can say my no1 book authors is Dan Brown . the authors of Da Vinci Code ?! i have read ALL his books and actually the Da Vinci Code are the less of my liking...
my 2nd best authors is Dan Simmons. again i read all his books. did i mentioned i love sci-fi stories ?! i don't want to go into much detail here but we could talk about if we had the chance ! :D

Again ....the type of movie i like most are still sci-fi theme movies ....star-trek, time machine, aliens, predators .......bah bah bah . the list can go forever. I even have builded a rack mount server at my house to store all my movies for me to watch any time i feel bored !

I listen all type of music ( not the heavy metal thu, don't ask me why just don't like it ) .... I don't think i can live a single day without a headphone in my ears. Although i don't consider myself as a rock n roll type of person ( sometime maybe, depends) . My favorites brand is MUSE. and the 2nd best like is the killers. i love peoples who share their own favorites music with me. so i can add it my my massive music collection i my home server ! ;D

PS: Very recently i got a very strange idea that i need to have all kind of licenses i could get before i m too old or getting married . sooooo instead of spending time at home to read .....i went for a boat license , diving license, all of 13 different vehicles licenses ( so far there only 3 left )...strange isn't ?! ;) i m also planned to get a pilot , skydiving license later in my life !
