About Me

I’m a local guy born in Hong Kong, grew up in Edinburgh where I currently reside. very much an avid adventurer, who enjoys to share life experiences with others and just have a great time whilst travelling

I’ve travelled around a lot, through America where I lived and studied for a year in New York, Israel, Thailand, Hong Kong(obviously) and much of Europe.

In all I love the great outdoors and suburbia rather than the hustle of city life, but i'm always up for exploring the great cities of this world. I'm very much a man who enjoys to be out there with nature, whether that be hiking, walking or any other outdoorsy activities. I can be a great tour guide in and around Scotland and can really show you the spots off the traditional tourist map.

If you’re in and around Edinburgh, hit me up! I love to show people what’s good in and around Edinburgh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've travelled around the world a lot on my own in Hostels. Part of going backpacking is the chance to meet different people of different cultures and background and share your experiences with them. I also enjoy trying to teach new people Scottish Folk Songs that I learnt in my teens and about the cultural differences between people globally.

Given that i'm a Screenwriting Student, travelling around enables me to get inspired from the places I visit, the people I meet and share my experiences with. Who knows. Stuff we end up talking about, may end up in a film one day!
