Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Snowboard for a month and a half in Japan
ABOUT ME
Chinese Canadian that grew up in a very small bubble. After the traditional engineering university degree, I moved to Boston to work for the past two years. Then that financial crisis thing hit, and all of a sudden, I found myself unmotivated and bored. I then took a 3 month sabbatical, and learned basic Spanish in Madrid, trying to learn Spanish. Returned to work in San Francisco, New York, and now wrapping up 6 months in Sydney. Looking to move to Hong Kong next!
I have been living in Hong Kong for two years!!!!!
PHILOSOPHY
When I was a young cub, I attended a catholic elementary school and one of the things they taught us, which I didn't really understand at that time, still sticks with me today: 'Never ask nor take. Only give and receive'
I'm a really happy person. There's no point worrying about things that might or might not happen
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
New to this website, but hoping to make new friends internationally
Interests
All sorts of racquet sports (badminton, tennis, ping pong etc)
Indie music - but only the good ones
Complaining about how hard Spanish is =)
Rock climbing!!!! Got addicted to this in Boston half a year ago
Skiing/Snowboarding - what else is snow good for?
Fine single malts, but in Madrid, I reckon they're too expensive for an unemployed student like myself
Pop/Contemporary art
Pottery - don't judge! It's really hard, addictive, and tranquilo at the same time.
