About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover more about the world and myself at the same time =]

ABOUT ME

For personality, I think I am a very curious and funny guy, sometimes extremely talkative, sometimes deeply superficial and sometimes quite thoughtful.
I am keen on sharing what I know and listening to others' stories, no matter culturally or technically =]

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, so we should live every moment to the fullest and travel as much as we can do when we are young!
Also we should give the most in doing anything that we ought to do! That's the right attitude!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's my very beginning to try CS in my graduation trip in Europe. Deeply affected by my friends' idea of travelling by sharing, I think CS can allow me to fully 'utilize' my traveling journey and really learn about the local culture/country.
After all, what travelling means to me are the sharing between people and things encountered throughout the journey. Why bother giving a seat of your car to a hitchhiker where you can listen to his travel experiences and share on yours as well?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nope but I am really looking forward to it in Europe.

Interests

civil engineering(construction can be very interesting =]), football, lacrosse, music, film, books... maybe the music and film are the elements that always influenced me with the Western culture when I was just a little boy.

Music, Movies, and Books

They are too much so I just list out the most influential ones...Movies: godfather and batman trilogy are epic, inception, fight club...
Music: Brit pop including oasis, blur and pulp, arctic monkeys are classic !!! of course Hong Kong Cantonese pop (most famous from 80s-00s)which are really important in growing this me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got selected and play for the Hong Kong National Lacrosse team and joining and leading the volunteering work in my hall(something like dormitory)
So far in my travelling experience, I have not really encountered the truly amazing things which I am looking forward in Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I may not be qualified enough to teach but I am definitely glad to share the following with all the travelers: Cantonese, Mandarin, Science especially civil engineering, Hong Kong culture and politics, and a little bit of sociology and architecture =]
