About Me

I was born in British Hong Kong and I've done my education in my hometown. I graduated from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology with a degree in Computer Engineering. I am currently working as a software engineer.

I am open-minded. I can be friend with anyone who respects the other. I was on exchange in Singapore, France and Germany so I met people from all over the world and I understand and respect the lifestyle of people from other countries.

During my exchange in Europe, I visited a lot of museums and places. I also travelled alone for 3 weeks. I made new friends and faced new challenges during the trip. It was a great and fun experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was on exchange in Germany before, I wanted to explore more about Europe and someone told me about this site. So, I registered here. I also like to make friends from different countries because I think it's the best way to learn a country in deep.

Music, Movies, and Books

------ Music ------
I love cantopop as it represents a special culture of Hong Kong and even the Chinese pop music.

------ Movies / Dramas ------
I have some movies/dramas I like but I am not a person with a good memory so I cannot recall the details usually after watching once (sometimes also the plots).

Some movies I like: Inception, Harry Potter, Johnny English, Mr & Mrs Smith, Twilight, Marvel series...

Some TV series I like: Black Mirror, Sherlock, The Flash, X-Files, Breaking bad, Orphan Black, PLL, OITNB, and a lot...

------ Books ------
I read reference books mostly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled to 13 countries in Europe that I visited most of them on my own. It was my first time to travel alone but I felt amazing that I made it. I faced some dangers but it was wonderful that I managed to be home safe.

I think every program I wrote was amazing :)
I love building things, bring convenience and help people with computer knowledge.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can watch Netflix together.

======== Traditional Chinese Culture ========
If you like playing board games, I might introduce you some Chinese board games / chess.

I can also teach you Mandarin and Cantonese if you are learning Chinese.

Simple recipes / dishes

======== Computer / Programming ========
I can teach you how to build your personal website / blog.

I can also share some experience in programming, Computer Science and robotics if you want to code.

======== Photography ========
I could share some basic technique on photography (though I am still a beginner). You may want to check out some photos I took under the "Photo" tab.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am glad to share the culture and history of Hong Kong and China with you. And also my experience on coding.

I can't really cook but I can show you 1 or 2 very simple and common dish(es) in Hong Kong / China, like steamed egg (https://theoptimistkitchen.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/perfect-steamed-eggs/).
