My name is Jane. I live in Hong Kong. If you see my CS profile says that I am in somewhere else, it's because I am going there in the near future and I would like to host there (details can be found under "How I Participate" & "Couch Information").

I lived in England for a while, where I polished my English, picked up some Mandarin, and first met French.

I started my current job since 2008, it makes up most of my travel. However, when most people spend days/week(s) to explore a city/country, due to my job nature, I split my visit of a city/country into pieces. On top of that, I would say I am a semi-local because half of my time is usually out of town, ha~

IF YOU ARE ASKING ME FOR A COUCH: START WITH READING THE COUCH INFORMATION SECTION CAREFULLY AND IN FULL PLEASE!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, live the moment! And try to enjoy your life, because no matter how bad it is, you still have to live with it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just started host & surf. I am so looking forward to it!

I heard about CouchSurfing from a colleague who came back from a trip in 2012, where she surfed and had a lot of fun. I then opened an account and, fullstop. It is because I usually visit my friends during holiday and they host me. And, I am living with families in Hong Kong, where couch is not available....(however, do drop me a line if you pass by Hong Kong. I am more than happy to show you around if I am in town^^)

One day, I suddenly came up with an idea which is 'why don't I make a good use of the accommodation which is provided by my company while I work outside of Hong Kong?'.

Now, here I am, welcoming you to stay with me for a night or two during my stay at other countries. Although I do not have a regular schedule/destination, I will keep updating my location in order to be searched by surfers from time to time.
