About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be free as a bird and soar high in the sky! I also love the water, so a waterbird!

ABOUT ME

I just finished my graduate studies in Vancouver BC. Because of that I haven't travelled much in the past 3 years, but I have had many friends stay over. Before that, I've lived in France and travelled Europe. I also go back to Hong Kong a lot as that is where I was born. The US is just an hour away.
-----
The last few places I've been to were Sweden, Switzerland, Germany and Turkey.
-----
I'm moving in April 2015 to Geneva!

PHILOSOPHY

Come what may. I feel one should be free to express their opinions and others should always be open to listen. I don't get along with stubborn, close-minded or inflexible people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I signed up a long time ago, but I haven't contributed in a long time, so I am starting now by hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Personally, not that much other than at my friends places. I always bring my own toothbrush and soap :)

The people I have hosted, I have throughly enjoyed. I showed them around what the city and region has to offer, city, ocean and them mountains.
