About Me

Master student in Epidemiology, Chinese Medicine practitioner, Wanderer, Climber.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Experiencing a different lifestyle and culture is fun.
What attracts me a lot is that I can see the country I travel from a local's perspective. It is nothing that a travel agency can give me. I am sure there is more to know about a place other than from news or movies. There must be something to amaze me.
As a picky eater, a place is considered travelled only after I enjoyed the traditional, regional cuisine there. Hope my hosts would bring me to the best restaurant or preferably cook me a lovely meal:D
Hosting guests felt so goooooooooood! Although I am also new in town, I am glad to explore this awesome city with my guests.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summited on a 2899-meter mountain.
That was a snow mountaineering course in my university. We stayed on a mountain in Japan for 5 days in winter. Freezing. Snowing. Yet it was so much FUN! We climbed up a frozen waterfall, walked along a ledge, got covered by snow in a little avalanche, oh and drank an icy bottle of Pepsi there. My wish to climb all over the world started from there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Cantonese, or share the idea of Chinese Medicine to you.

Love to learn different language, especially foul language first. At least I know who is saying bad thing against me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Acupuncture if you are not afraid of needles.
or a Chinese massage perhaps?
Singing Canto pop during my shower haha.
Some Hong Kong cuisines that I cook.
