My mission is to see places and people at least Twice. Turning Nice-to-meet-you into Good-to-see-you-again.

Throughout the past 20 some years, I have lived a busy but fulfilling city life throughout my life, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, and New York. I would like to eventually move to a small town, perhaps a village and leave the cities behind. Let's see how that goes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Going to a different kind of space is to think kind of differently! I always manage to put together a unique itinerary for my trip. When I am not traveling, I love to give architectural tours wherever I am. I have a few topics for New York, Los Angeles, and Hong Kong. Ask me about it.

Interests

Trespassing - As an architect, I always manage to find that one unlocked door - to cut across a building to another side quick, to pay a visit to the beautiful piece of architecture, to get higher for a better view, or to just use the not-so-public bathroom.

I like to observe, make an educated guess on subjects I am not familiar with, and then fact-check myself. I love history.

Music, Movies, and Books

I didn't read until I turn 20. I started with Ayn Rand and never stop reading ever since. Who doesn't love Bradbury, Calvino, Borges, Murakami?

I love listening to the metronome at 40bps.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my first hour of my European Grand Tour, I was held at gunpoint and abducted to a forest. I was robbed blind but as I walked out from the pitch black forest. After a few weeks gathering myself, I continued on for another 10 months, traveling 7000km from Cyprus to England via 17 countries.

On my second tour to Europe, I brought my 20" folding bike with me, and cycled 1000km from London to Bern.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love planning and re-arranging things and space. I like taking things apart and put things together. I design and build utilitarian furniture or useless objects.
