About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore & be spontaneous

ABOUT ME

This is my first Europe experience and its all been so surreal!! I am still pinching myself exploring and enjoying cities and countries around Europe.

Typical ABC (Australian Born Chinese) who loves to talk, sleep and enjoy GOOD FOOD! You can't go wrong with great company, good food & wine! A non-smoker.

PHILOSOPHY

Im still trying to figure this out :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive just met people travelling vouching how great CS is!

I just had my first CS experience and it was fantastic. I was really nervous at first being with a complete stranger but meeting the locals who are happy to share their couch and their knowledge of their city and their travels is invaluable!! I am amazed at how generous people are around the world!

Interests

Graphic Design, Being Creative, Looking at cool design & fashion blogs, Dancing!!!, Cooking (love experimenting with food and baking), Tea, COCKTAILS!, Cupcakes, Poker, Guitar Hero, and definitely Chilling Out. Ever since Ive been in Europe, Im started to appreciate sitting at a cafe or parks by myself and reading a good book or just writing in my journal.

Music, Movies, and Books

House & Chillout music!!
Love Family Guy, The Office, 30 Rock, How I met your mother, House, American Dad, Simpsons, Sex & the City. There is still a look of classic movies I havent seen and I know I need to be educated on :)

I havent read a good book in a long time, being apart of the rat race and all, so I endeavour by the time this trip ends, I finish a book. I think I will start with Schindler's List (after the visit to Auschwitz, Krakow).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is a tough cookie, need more time on this :) But I think travelling on my own and going to cities and not knowing much about it and just exploring is a really big achievement for me!

Teach, Learn, Share

Im a graphic designer who loves to design print & web - so I guess I can put my two cents to anything related to that.

Definitely would love to exchange cooking skills - when I used to live in the city - had to be creative with a low budget. So got good tips there!

I guess I speak another language so I can teach you Cantonese. Ive travelled a far bit so you can always ask me about that - south east countries and about Australia of course!

Ive still got so much to learn. This is my first time travelling by myself and doing random things!

Countries I’ve Visited

China, Fiji, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Thailand, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia
