Kinda of settled down now in Sydney after my long backpack trip. Still have short trips every now and then. Unable to host at the moment because I'm staying home with parents. (saving up while planning to do further study) But happy to meet new people.

My friends complain that I'm always on holiday. And my lovely Chinese parents always look at me quizzically, totally unable to comprehend why I would want to go away again. Especially to a place they’ve barely heard of or can’t imagine in their entire lives ever wanting to visit.

What can I say?
"Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote. And I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life"

I'm an easy-going and friendly person. Also open-minded and love exploring different cultures. I'm happy to share my fun/crazy travelling stories (and my life stories) with others.

Hey, they are not just my illusional thoughts about myself, I have references to prove it, haha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im not someone who travels to have selfies at tourist sites. I rather go with wherever the road takes me. If I walk pass a museum, I will go and visit it. If I meet people along the way, we will sit down and grab a coffee/beer together.

CS helps me to meet interesting people and make some memorable moments together. And it feels great to be connected to people living on the other side of world.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: depends on my mood or the weather. Sometimes just whatever is on the radio.

Books: From hard science fiction to Nicholas Sparks. Yes, I read a wide range of books. (Secretly addicted to crime novels though.)

Movies: drama, comedy, crime and documentary. NOT a big fan of action or superhero movies! (Still i had to watch a few in the past years because of my ex-boyfriends)

Sorry, as a typical second-generation Chinese immigrant, I DON'T cook any Chinese food! (Don't even like Chinese food that much. Sorry to disappoint those Chinese-food-lovers.) But I'm a passionated eater and a true foodie, so I'm always ready to share a meal with you. Also I can show how to order like a Chinese in a Chinese restaurant.
