27/11/2018: Going back home for Christmas since Dec. 14th. Feel free to drop your request and I'll see how I can help you in terms of anything. :)

Hi there! You can call me Roy and I'm Chinese. :) Now I'm living in Budapest for my 2nd expat year. I love cooking and travelling. :P

My life motto-ish:
是谁来自山川湖海, 却囿于昼夜、厨房与爱。
The man from nowhere is tamed in daily routine, kitchen and love.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I got to know this place from my tutor back in college and I just loved the idea of exchanging the personal spaces with stories and laughter the first moment when I heard of it. I didn't host anyone before but I was hosted before. It's an extremely amazing platform where it bridges people together and brings connectivity in real.

Interessi

Cooking is definitely the #1 hobby. I love the cooking tutorials from Tasty. And if I get the energy during the weekend, I normally will treat myself with a great meal by giving a try for the recipes from them. I've always wanted to learn the basic bakery skill - bake a cake or some cookies. However, I am still working on finding a great master to guide me as there is a quite huge difference in terms of the accuracy.

Film-watching comes as the 2nd in terms of interests, I suppose. Watching movies is a way of understanding the world and people living in this world. I love putting myself as an outsider in the movie's world. And I love putting myself as the characters in the movie. To be honest, I am not a master of those academic theories, but I simply just love analyzing it after the fin.

Well, maybe travelling chimes in as the third one I want to put it here. No more BS, just love the feeling of putting myself in a totally strange environment.

Musica, film e libri

Music: As long as they are fitting into the mood - which means I have no special tastes or singers or genres or languages to entitle the throne. :-D

Movies: The Cloud Atlas (My All-time #1), Call me by your name, Toast, Flipped, About time, The way he looks and etc. (You can check my imdb profile here: https://www.imdb.com/user/ur80768301/)

Books: I've finished reading the 2 original storybooks of CMBYN and Love, Simon. Currently, I am waiting for the Boys Erased to be delivered. Oh, by the way, I also love those blogs on the Medium.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

- Hiked around 10-15KM to the beach in Lagoa, Portugal. :D
- Kept the annual routine of travelling alone to a new place at my birthday in the past 5 years. :)
- Hahaha Lost my wallet while travelling in Thailand with friends (back from the north to the capital). xD

Insegna, impara, condividi

Basically, I can teach my mother tongue, and if you are learning English, I can also help you practise English. (Hahaha, my proudest moment of possessing conversational English level as a native Mandarin speaker.)

I seriously want to start learning how to bake things and maybe also your languages/slangs/unique ways of expression and so on. Teach me if you can! :D I can be the best audience!

Sharing is caring. I genuinely hope to share more about me, my country, my travel stories and probably also all the other interesting things happened in the past 2 years of my life in Hungary.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I'd love to exchange knowledge about our cultures, so it might be cuisine dishes, pictures, talking about habits and traditions, etc.
