ABOUT ME

Hi, i'm Kit, a Hong Kong Australian.

I usually like to travel without too much pesky planning. I enjoy travelling alone and also with friends.

As an actuary, I worked in a Finance company. I am an outgoing, open-minded guy. However, I don't like to work all-the-day in front of a computer to calculate. I rather describe myself as and outgoing and person. I hope someday I can find a job that I really want.

I have a lot of dreams. During traveling, I can look for the purpose of my life. I am an easy-going guy, but I hate making friends with materialistic people.

PHILOSOPHY

"Try before you said NO"
Even you are timid, try very best not to stay in a stable and safe life. If you stay in a stable life, and this will be your entire life!
Live new experiences with an open mind and heart! Meet as many people as possible as everyone has something special to offer.
The only way to change the future is to change the present, whatever you are doing now is creating your future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I plan to surf and sometimes I host.
I have hosted some friends from other countries including Taiwanese, Italian, Japan, Korean, Germany, French and Hong Konger. All the experiences were quite nice and enjoyable.
2-3 days is about the max time I'd like to host in most cases, but there can be exceptions. Just depends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I experienced couchsurfing in Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Ecuador, Spain, Vietnam, and Japan.

Interests

I love travel and all kind of sports like tennis, volleyball, canoeing, rock climbing, hiking, cycling and swimming. My goal of this year is to take part in tennis and volleyball tournaments.

I love playing video games including PS4, Switch, PS2, computer games......I also enjoy playing board games with friends.

Movies! Love to use lines from movies to make sense of life. I have formed a movie group to go watching movies every Friday night. Theatre performances as well~

I like hiking, camping and every outdoor activity. The countryside of Hong Kong is the most beautiful. Everywhere is hill, river, sea, lake, tree, and island. In summer, I go canoeing in Sai Kung every weekend to hug the nature.

I like to play piano and guitar, but I am not good at it.......

In short, I am a guy having a lot of interest.
