About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Since graduation, I have been working as a travel consultant for three years. I enjoy seeing new placese but also re-visiting places I have already been to. I believe there is always something new to discover when you see the world with a different angel and a different attitude.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and I love hearing their stories. I talk alot when someone is willing to listen. To me it's very important to be open-minded and always appreciate what you have. I am fortunate to have stuided Journalism and Communications, which trained me to look at the world with varied perspectives. I like learning new stuff, the process of learning excited me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently in Nuremberg. It would be great if someone who like to meet up when you visit. However, the overnight guest is not allowed by the lease so could not accept guest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time I surfed was five years ago when I was still a student. After that I have been a surfer for couple times :) It's amazing! I'm looking forward to meeting more friendly people!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a fan of Agatha Christie. Her books are my best travel companion, my favourite is Evil under the sun.
I would prefer Madagascar Penguin over Fifty Shades of Grey, basically I watch Disney, Pixar and Dreamwork. I might seems childish but I just like them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I may not be a super out-going person, especially since high school graduation, I did not make any effort in keeping in shape and working out. However, I always wonder what would it be like surrounded by mountains. So before heading to Germany for working holiday, me and my boyfriend took off a trip to Nepal. We went hiking for in total 7 days, the longest day we trekked 20km. That's pretty cool I think.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help if you are trying to learn Chinese, and I will actually teach you Cantonese as well.
I can share with you what a Hongkonger thinks if you are interested in the whole "Hong Kong - China" thing.
I used to be a travel consultant so if you do need recommendation or tips for travelling in Southeast Asia or Northeast Asia, I am more than happy to share!
