About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

A bit shy at first but definitely love meeting new friends from all around the world. :) I am an easy-going and fun-loving person. Hope to meet all of you someday!

PHILOSOPHY

Laugher is the best medicine.

Don't think too much about the uncertainties because you'll cross that bridge when you get to it.

"Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future." - David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My sister and I were backpackers travelling to different places in Asia Pacific and Europe since Feb 2012. Get to know couchsurfing by then.
I am happy to be one of the hosts in Hong Kong. It's fun meeting a number of new friends from different parts of this small world. Actually I had very nice experience being both the host or the surfer. :) Thanks all mates. Hope u feel the same!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hang gliding in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia! That's scary but amazing at the same time. Flying up in the sky with eagles, looking down to the beautiful ocean, feeling so carefree in the breeze; Words cannot express how wonderful I felt. Enjoy that moment much!
