👌🏼 (*please read carefully)

A living manifestation of the United Nations! Have lived in many big cities over 4 different continents.
Now I am splitting my time between HK and Macau each week. So, I’ll be hosting on either side depending on my work schedule. So please let me know of your plans.

“Life is a journey, it is not the years in your life but the life in your years! “

I try not to write too much of my bio here as I had an identity theft in the past. Very happy to share many of travel and CS stories with you all once we have met. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Looking forward to meeting you either thru hosting or hangouts.

Cheers!

👋🏻

P.S. to avoid people just doing straight copy and pasting. I’m getting a lot of requests everyday.

Please do ask for “my favourite coffee ☕️ region ”, then I would know that you at least taken the time to read thru my profile 😉 and perhaps you could tell me yours 😅.

CS is about cultural exchange and not just free accommodation, so please be respectful 🙏 😊I understand that accommodation is costly for visiting any big cities. Many of you are young travelers and hoping that one could save a few bucks by staying with hosts. That is understandable, but if this is your only motive that you might have to reconsider your membership on this platform.

So far I received 4 negative (all revenge oriented) references, if you have read what I wrote about them in the first place, it’s easy to figure out why I got them🤣!

One final thing- if you are actually working remotely 👩‍💻🧑‍💻 while you are traveling please could you let me know up front. Thanks 🙏

(I prefer my home to be a work free zone. If it is a quick work call 📞 for 30min or a work interview, then that’s fair enough, 😉you are welcome to it)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just want to hear a different perspective from other travelers. Their lives and their findings.

So far I have identified several types of travellers on CS that I have hosted, wonder if you agree/disagree?
