About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Get lost and save the world!
ABOUT ME
I like talking to people, exploring new things and going off the beaten path, whether I'm at home or abroad. I also love movies, theatre, museums and art! I am a nature lover and hike a lot, and have been studying about the environment (i've majored in geography and environmental policy) for the past 5 years or so....... So what's next for me? No idea at all... And when I am lost, I like to read, talk to people and travel.
Speaking about off the beaten path, I'd love to show you the hidden treasures in Hong Kong: the forgotten old districts, the tea houses, countryside, hiking trails. I'm up for everything actually, just that I wouldn't be able to squeeze any space out at my place to host (that's Hong Kong!)
PHILOSOPHY
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.
Hakuna Matata.
Interests
The world - It's awesome!
Saving the world - has been a lifelong interest, but it doesn't mean I am good at it..... You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
Nature - Call me a tree hugger (could be both literally and figuratively). All I know is that we've got one planet before we invent the time machine or teleportation. So while we're trashing it, do it with care!
People - Guys and girls. Six degree of separation? Nah.
Humour - "Research shows that laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease." Well... seriously? Who needs that research to tell us that laughter is good?
Life - Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.
Randomness - Life's not fun if you know what will happen
