About Me

Born and raised in Hong Kong. a victim of growing up with 2 different culture - British and Chinese. Well I guess that makes HongKonger the uniqueness. :-)

Easy going, down to earth, into art and culture, adventurous, fun-loving and super open minded. I am also young and energetic, so if you are looking for a mate to hang around, grab a drink or going to parties, then I would be the right person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Make great friends, borderlessly. :-)

You can look at my reference. I do ensure my guest to have best experience while the stay, becoming the best friend of my guests and showing the best things of the city.

I offer my couch/bedroom for the travellers here. To provide a comfy home-feel environment with anything necessarily needed. As I have spent my whole life here, I know the city very well and can be a good tour guide, taking my guests to have nice local food, showing around a bit, providing the information that you don't see in the tour guide book, or whatever that is fun.

To couchsurf:
When I travel, I would like to meet up local people, get to know more about the culture, history, background of the host and listening to the life stories..etc. I found it much more interesting than staying in hostel or hotel. Like to being with locals, doing local stuff, true traveling experience.

To hang out:
If you are traveling to Hong Kong but no need to stay in the couch, I would still like to meet you up! Let's make friends! So if you found my profile interesting, please don't hesitate to give me a shout.

PLEASE READ:
As I receive many request all the time, I have to be very selective on hosting my guest. Before you spend time to send me request please be aware of the following notes:

** I don't accept request for 1 day staying in general unless you have a very strong reason. To me, 1-day staying would be difficult to develop a good friendship.
** When you write me request, please spend some mins to read through my profile and write the request properly. I don't accept 1-line message as request.
** Please make sure your profile is filled with content and a few photos at least, that would help me to know more about you. (yes I sometimes receive request with blank profile and no photo)
** If you are on flight-transit/visa-run/quick run, it's unlikely that I would host you. I prefer to host someone that's interested in knowing the city and its culture, and the people. :-)

Yes it might need some efforts, but it's worth it. :-) You won't regret staying with me!
