About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finishing my book and getting published! WOOOOOOO

ABOUT ME

I'm an architectural student who loves travelling and love meeting new people sooooo much that I ended up working at a backpackers hostel! I speak English, Chinese, Intermediate French and a little Japanese

I can a bit crazy and unusual at time although I am super friendly and super helpful! I like to learn about other cultures and beliefs as I feel this diversity makes the world so much more colourful!

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Mutual Respect is the key :)

A travelling mind is a curious mind. Always be keen to seek out the hidden, mundane or unusual! You'll never know what you'll find out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting new people, new friends. It doesn't matter who you are, or where you're from. I believe in mutual respect. I can talk about anything under the sun!

I work part-time at a backpackers hostel and I do take some guests out for fun sometimes. If you like to meet up for a walking tour or maybe a cup of coffee, I'll be more than happy to!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started couchsurfing at my friend's place when I first did Europe in 2012 and again when I did the continent thing in 2014.

Haven't looked back since then :) I enjoy hosting as well as meeting new people while travelling and surfing on my own.]

Interests

I love photography, sketching and just walking and getting lost in cities! Always armed with a sketchbook and camera whenever I'm travelling.

I'm a sucker for history and geography as well. Go ahead, shoot me, I'll try to answer an question you might have.

Soccer is my other big interest. Along with toy collection. (Wait till you see my room!)
