About Me

Hello! I'm a university student from Hong Kong. I'm travelling to Europe alone this summer and I'll to spend most of my time in UK as I'm planning to get my Masters degree in London (hopefully :p)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people from around the world and to exchange life stories with them. It would also be a great experience to meet locals and really immerse in the cultures.

Interests

I love to read, watch movies, travel and meet new people to learn about different cultures.
I've never been travelling alone before but I am looking forward to do so!
