About Me

Hi all, 大家好,

Moved to The Hague last year for work and like to continue meeting people who have traveled and have had interesting experiences. Used to host together with my sister in Amsterdam.

I work full time so time to hang out together may be limited, and much more than an air bed I won't have to offer, just so you know ;)

I have a pretty wide interest myself, lately been focusing on finance, Chinese, longboarding, and drawing. 我也會說一點中文. 歡迎你們給我留個訊息,連糾正我的國語也行 ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about the Couchsurfing project a few times and thought it was a very interesting concept. After two friends of mine joined Couchsurfing (they live in Rotterdam) I had the opportunity to meet a few couchsurfers and he had a great time, so that's why I signed up for Couchsurfing - initially with my sister when living in Amsterdam :-)

Interests

Chinese (language), guitar, beach, drawing, longboarding, reading, history. About those interests... It sorta just grew on me and now I try to balance them. C'est la vie

Music, Movies, and Books

Bossa Nova, Jazz, and Oldschool Rap/Hiphop mostly, though I enjoy listening to other genres too ( not really fan of electronic music).

Don't watch a lot of movies, but I really enjoyed Into the Wild, Shutter Island and the Prestige. And the Lion King.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to survive 25 years consecutively without dying once.

Teach, Learn, Share

It's a common misunderstanding that penguins don't have kneecaps, they do. They are just a bit higher than with humans.
