ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Hong Kong, but went to college in the US for almost 5 years, where I studied German and Earth Sciences.

I am an outgoing person, that I have already traveled to over 60 countries in the world. Meeting new people and learning new culture are the essentials of my life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've created my CS account for few years but haven't been too active on it. As recommended by different people I met while traveling, I think it's time to give it a shot.

Interessi

Photography - Lately have been obsessed with analogue camera.

Travel - Needless to say, I am devoting myself to travel.

Sports - When I am not traveling, I go swimming twice a week, and play volleyball and badminton respectively once a week. Doing sports always makes me feel happier and healthier!

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

No ATMs accepted my debit card in Kiev airport, but I met one very nice guy who lent me (the stranger) US$200 regardless. I transferred the money back to him when I was back home, however, I have never heard back from him ever since. If you are on CS, I really want to shout the big thanks to you once again. You are the most awesome people in the world!!!

Took a helicopter to climb the top of Franz Josef glacier in New Zealand, that was one of the most unforgettable moments in my life.

Tricked the Bolivian Consulate in La Quiaca, Argentina to have visa free entry to Bolivia with my visa-obligatory passport by non-stop persuasion, dumb-playing and teary eyes. It worked, miraculously!

Insegna, impara, condividi

I love languages and would like to do language exchange, which I am native in Cantonese, fluent in Mandarin and English, and at advanced level of German.
