Hi! I’m Wingman 穎汶. You may also call me Toma.

📍【CURRENT MISSION】 Enjoy every moment in life; Treasure every encounter.

📍【ABOUT ME】 A girl from Hong Kong. Did a train trip across Europe and Russia.  A slow traveler who treasures genuine, deep connections with people, places and culture.  An open-minded, spontaneous and easy-going person who likes to practice mindfulness and accept things the way they are. Believing that race, language, age, gender, etc. are no barriers to friendships as long as there are mutual trust, respect, understanding and empathy. Beautiful landscapes, mountains, forests, cultural heritage, museums, cafes, parks, bookstores, galleries and local places are my favourites. A cat lover 🐈 Vegetarian 🌱

📍【PHILOSOPHY】 “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist  “Treasure every encounter, for it will never recur (ichi-go-ichi-e).” ― Zen Buddhism “Don't judge people, you never know what kind of battle they are fighting.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems fun and I believe that it will lead me to many new people and unique experiences which I can hardly gain from traditional ways of travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

【Music】All kinds of music! From Indie, Jazz, Classical music to Folk music. Recently I like Cigarettes After Sex the most, but the music by MONO, Sigur Rós, múm, Kashiwa Daisuke, Muse, Ichiko Aoba, Quruli, my little airport... is all amazing!

【Books】Haruki Murakami's novels, esp. South of the Border, West of the Sun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a lot of unforgettable moments with awesome people when travelling alone in Europe and Russia. Everything happened so spontaneously!

Teach, Learn, Share

【Languages】I can be your conversation partner if you wanna learn Chinese, Cantonese or Japanese. I've learnt some -- very little -- German and Russian before so it would be great if you can teach me more!

【Drawing】 I like drawings and illustrations and want to improve my skills, so I can teach you how to draw some simple stuff; If you also have the same hobby, we can practice it together!

【Tea】I've brought some tea from different places with me -- China, Japan, Tibet... and I'm more than willing to share them with you because I like tea VERY MUCH and I hope you would like it too. There are many other things that I would like to learn more, like how to cook healthy vegetarian food, yoga, guitar, ukulele, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hand-drawn postcards, tea and stories; Tell you what Hong Kong and Japan are like and their cultures; Time to hang out and discover new things together.
