About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling in my first Asian country

ABOUT ME

I am from Hong Kong and lived in the United States for five years. I grew up in Hong Kong.I learnt some basic German but I don't know much at all. I love outdoor activities. I spent five years in Colorado so skiing is my favorite sport. Once you get to know me, you probably can tolerate my silly jokes and laugh with/at me:)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get

You are only young once!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Save a horse, Ride a cowboy:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skiing in Colorado

Backpacking in Europe

Backpacking at Rocky Mountain National Park

I lost my keys while I was skiing in the trees... I found the keys at the end anyway (after going all the way down the mountain and coming back up)

I saw two comets at two different time at drive-in movie theaters. It is the most beautiful thing no one should miss in their lives. I did miss seeing a green one while all of my friends besides me saw it

I saw a shooting star flashed through the sky at Charles Bridge in Prague. It was like a fairytale movie

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Chinese. Cantonese is my first language and I know some Mandarin.

By the way, Chinese(Traditional) is not a language, it just a form of Chinese characters.

I can cook you some fried-rice or some Chinese sweet soup(it is a dessert)

Countries I’ve Visited

China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malaysia, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, Vatican City State
