About Me

Hi All I am a Hong-Kongese having a cycling tour with my girlfriend Florrie (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/florriechan) in Central Asia.

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling with bicycle and enjoy life on the road.

ABOUT ME

In love with stories encountered on the road. Addicted to discover different possibilities living on the planet.
Not a party animal, but love to share a lot of personal thoughts about travel, social issues; life if appropriate.

Non-smoker/drink occasionally only.

PHILOSOPHY

Stupid Kantian who dreams of a Rawlsian world.

One has to know WHAT THEY WANT in their life.

Ask yourself "Why am I here?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Was picked up by an extremely nice host in Amsterdam after missed the intercity bus. The amazing experience motivated me to meet and interact with locals around the world.

Interests

Anything about Traveling...
I work as freelance tour leader focusing on less-visited countries like Iran, Central Asia, etc + walking tour guide; so eager to discover hidden stories in cities. Share with me if you have some!

Love cycling as well. Cycling from Hong Kong-Tibet-Nepal-India in 4 months before. And now on another cycling trip.

Living in a city with tense competitions, I always seek for other ways of life. Thanks for travelling I discover how much variety life can be. So I wish to meet people from all places of the world and explore their cultures and interests, and refine what my life should be.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2013: Spent 4 months cycling from Hong Kong to India, through Tibet and Nepal.
2018-19: Cycling from Sichuan, China to Kazakhstan, via Tibet and Xinjiang.

Teach, Learn, Share

In recent years Hong Kong has encountered numerous challenges in various aspects. What I would love to share first is the unique culture of this once-Oriental Pearl and the thoughts of Hong Kongers - it is about Chinese culture, about a blend of West & East, but apparently much more than that.

And of course stories on the road.
And love to know everything you wish to share with me :)
Look for interesting stories from your countries...especially those off the beaten track!
Definitely like to learn Photography and Languages!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, view on life. And a mind who love to debate on philosophical matters.
