About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working in Berlin

ABOUT ME

I am now working in Berlin after studying in Frankfurt for my master.

I don't know what else can I say to make it less cliche...perhaps the fact! I am born and lived in Hong Kong till 12, than I moved to the UK for my study. After my bachelor in York I went to Frankfurt, Germany for my Master. I graduated in December 2016 and am now working in Berlin in audit.

I joined the world of Erasmus (student exchange group) in my university in York and have been loving it! I still have lots of contacts with my Erasmus friends and would like to experience something like that from here as well.

I think I am quiet in nature but what I am really doing is waiting for the best moment to engage in a really enjoyable conversation!...than I am afraid I will be non-stoppable :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Great idea! It is perfect for people who would like to travel and get to know the local people, their way of life, and their views on things.

It is kind of my view that travelling maximises your experience, and is only worthwhile when you get to know the people of the place.

And on that, I always like to think of each person as a living story of their own, waiting for you to discover and learn from. So I travel, and meet people...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Went to Dublin in the middle of a snow storm...lovely!

Music, Movies, and Books

Sam Tsui!!!
I play the piano and violin since young, although still not very good at them :P
movies/books that stimulate you to think, or shocks you in the way you perceive the world...Stanley Kubrick films, Michael Haneke films etc.
I like those entertainment films too...when I am not in the mood to think :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a military gliding course for a week in South West England...closest I have got to one of my dreams.

Teach, Learn, Share

Perhaps to learn more German...:)
