About Me

2013, it was a year that changed me tons.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going and friendly girl!
I love art and design. I am a designer on digital and graphics:)
I love travelling (I used to travel a lot but not now anymore, due to my work here).
I love my life.
I love simpleness.
I love meeting new friends.
I love history.
I love to introduce you my culture and would love to listen to yours too.
I love food.
I love cooking (If you can teach me your country's signature cooking I would be so happy!)
I love healthy stuff (though I don't really work out hehe)
I love reading, any kind of books that can interest me.
I love slow pace (I'm a Taurus FYI), I don't like to rush.
I'm learning YOGA and meditation.

"GODDESS OF HUMOUR". This is how my friends call me. If you can understand Cantonese, you would love me.

PHILOSOPHY

- Simple. Feel it. Be conscious on things around me. Love not hate.

-I don't really miss places I lived or I traveled..I MISS PEOPLE!......(and food lol)

-I don't have a specific religion. But I read Buddhism books, I also read Christian history and New age books. I love reading.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was introduced by my high school friend and I'm addicted till now

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined CS almost since 2009. CS gave me a great chance to know many many good and kind-hearted people all over the world. I cherish our friendship. I have been off for few years since 2013. But now I want to come back! I miss the feeling of meeting the lovely people!

Macau-
I seldom host people in Macau since I live with my family. So most of the time I show people around and gather/chill out:) I have only hosted one girl from Taiwan here. This is both our first cs experience!

London-
I lived alone in London that's why I hosted people quite often there. Sometimes I only hanged out with them if I were busy with school work. To host people is really amazing!

Hong Kong -
Up to now I have hosted over 40 people in HK (when I was in my old flat)! Cherish each chance since these people are really lovely:) Since I have moved to a new place, I can't host people that easily. Sometimes it is my work that restricts me, so hope you understand:)

Interests

Art & design, music, movie, photography, illustration, drawings, reading, cooking, cultural experience.

Also, I know it's weird to say, I love to organise my home and experiment how to organise my house hahaha.

If you are interested I can show you my works when we meet! I love to exchange ideas.
