About Me

⚠️Unfortunately I cannot host people right now, as I have just moved to a new apartment and things are still messy. But sometimes I might travel to other places and it could be the case that you can take over my room. My next plan is winter schools during 8-15/Jan and 4-12/Feb, so then my room would be free, please write to me if it fits your time. Especially asylum seekers and someone who has urgent needs, we can talk and figure it out⚠️

🇭🇰 Liberal Hong Konger
👔 Had 5 years of experience as the only female engineer in a software solution company
📚 Now a master student in Physics and Electronics in Dresden, Germany.
🎻 Learning cello and practising 40 hours a day
💁🏻‍♀️ An urbex beginner, fan of brutalism, modernism socialism aesthetics, vegetarian for three years. Love most non-mainstreamed stuffs and underground culture and of course classical and indie music, movies, literature, arts, interested in gender issues, culture, sociology, ecology, human rights and animal rights etc🏃‍♀️ I would not say that I am extraverted...actually kind of slow-burn, but would always keep strong connection with people once we become friends 🙌
****************************************
👀 I am currently learning Russian (given up), French (totally forgotten) and German (C1 🤞). The places on my traveling bucket list are:
Czech Republic - so close to Dresden where I current my based in, especially to visit Theresienstadt
Baltic countries (Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia) - it was my Christmas plan but cancelled due to work and study, hope to realise it soon!
Greece - have been healed so many time by an animal shelter in a Greek island, thinking of doing some volunteering jobs there, maybe in June

And these are the plans before I moved to Europe… but as the current war going on, I am not sure….

🏃‍♀️North Korea (hope I can run marathon in spring of 2023 -- postponed so many times 🤦‍♀️)
🌳Russia (trans-Siberian traintrip 🚂 of course, and I am thinking of helping in the tree-planting volunteer event near Novosibirsk, to help recover the damage caused by the big fire 😣, or St Petersburg anytime with my mum after the pandemic 🎭)
🚶‍♀️Belarus (to discover the other side of Chernobyl, maybe in the coming spring)

⚒love visiting all former USSR countries and hearing stories about Cold War, visiting museums or memorials, watching movies and documentaries and reading books on Second World War

🛸I would see myself as an urban exploring beginner for abandon places, brutalism architecture and cyber scenery (reason why I love HK street views 😝)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After traveling and staying in hostels in several places, I think it's time to try some new stuff and also wish to exchange opinions and life experiences in order to be inspired by the locals 💁
