About Me

Hey! I am Boey from Hong Kong :)

I am not a mainstream tourist type person. While some people planned their trip with guide books and went to all famous attraction spots, I would rather go to non tourist sites (e.g. Local restaurant with local language menu so I totally don't understand) and living like a local (I tried to attend a dance class in a local studio).
Usually the activities out of original plan are the most exciting and interesting experience!

so tourists in HK probably know more abt HK tourist place than me (e.g. I have never been to the big Buddha lol). No worries what I can offer is my Languages (fluent in Cantonese and English and So so mandarin) and the willingness to explore the non tourist side with you.

I am willing to try any new things, as long as the activities won't threaten my life :P

Dancing is my life. I am into Jazz, contemporary and Jazz funk :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting more people is one of my living motivation.
As I said I like local places more than tourist spots, usually local people can surprise me by leading me to have a local life where I am travelling in their countries :)
Of coz I would like to do the same to other CSers.

Life is unpredictable, let's meet up:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I go to travel, I picked Taiwan during countdown and as a poor backpacker we can't book any affordable accommodation as we were too rush to book. At the end we almost got freezing on the street and managed to rent a sofa place in a book store to survive through the countdown day. It was the most amazing countdown haha
