About Me

Send me a couch request without reading my profile and I will reject it without reading yours. ;)

****

I am a tiny Asian with a big backpack and an even bigger bucket list.

Brought up in an Asian family in Hong Kong, my motto of life is to Be Happy. To live my happy life to my fullest, I strive to meet new people in new places, learn from them, laugh with them, be thankful, love life and live life.

Currently living in Melbourne! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first heard about Couchsurfing through a random conversation with some CSers in a hot tub (yep, ask me for the full story!)... It wasn't till one day as I was procrastinating from studies, I decided to spend a "little bit of time" setting up my profile, and really getting into it. From then on, I have participated in various events, surfed and hosted.

I believe that we learn something from every person who crosses our lives, and that every one makes changes to our lives - big or small. Couchsurfing serves as a window for me to interact, exchange, inspire and be inspired.

Because CS is a platform for exchange, it is important that we learn about each other in order to build a nice friendship bond.

Interests

I like to get to know people and learn about their personalities. Everyone has their own stories and I am always, always intrigued by each and every single one of them. I enjoy good conversations especially when doing things we both enjoy. While I loveeeee hiking, jogging, swimming (in a pool) and most outdoor activities, I equally enjoy cooking, a good book, and a quiet night in.

Music, Movies, and Books

I appreciate all types of music but I do not usually listen to loud, rock music.

Hector & the Search for Happiness is my favourite movie (though surprisingly and unfortunately, the book is not as great as I thought it would be). I generally dislike chickflicks, and I avoid horror movies completely.

Books - more like a magazine - NatGeo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked the Everest Circuit over 3 weeks ( broke my rib and my PB of not showering for 16 days), hiked the 223km Larapinta Trail in Alice Springs in 6 days, had the first car stop for me in my first hitchhiking experience, made countless people laugh with my funny jokes... :D

Teach, Learn, Share
