What kind of person is your ideal date?
Someone funny, kind, smart, and very low key.

Coming home to New York City to visit friends and family for Chinese New Year! (Worst part: dealing with the jet lag of a 13-hour time difference)

I made a scrapbook with pictures, tickets and business cards of bars and restaurants, etc from a trip to Spain and the south of France.

What’s something you’ve always wanted to try?
I’ve been wanting to do the hike to Tiger Leaping Gorge in Yunnan, but I haven't had someone adventurous enough to come with me!

Fried. Must be willing to share fries

Occupation: Journalist
Looking for: A gal

How would you describe yourself?
I’m a portrait artist. I love drawing portraits for new people I meet, as well as old friends. I can only work doing something I have passion for and I always love to share my thoughts with people on the same channel.  

What’s an ideal date?
The ideal date should be very relaxed and feel both comfortable and sweet. We shouldn’t need to think about what to talk about or how to answer.

What would you love to do with life?
If I were backpacking and busking in Europe, I’d feel like my dream is being fulfilled.

What’s an ideal weekend for you?
My ideal weekend would be non-stop drawing for 48 hours. If only the weekdays didn’t tire me out so much!

What’s something you’ve always wanted to try?
I’ve always wanted to organise an exhibition of my art, but I think I need to improve my skills before that. I also want to publish my own comic.

Someone who’s positive, kind and has a great sense of humour.

Obviously me! Sydney has really gone downhill since I moved to Hong Kong…

What part of the body do you find most attractive?
A great smile – it’s warm and inviting.

What’s an ideal weekend for you?
Taking Friday off of work and jetting to a nearby country – Thailand, Vietnam and Taiwan are all great for a weekend getaway. If I'm in Hong Kong then it'll be a hike during spring/winter or going on a junk during summer.

If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about anything at all, what would you want to know?
What came first, the chicken or the egg?

Looking for: A guy

How would you describe yourself?
Someone who is always up for an adventure! I love exploring new places, whether it’s travelling to a new country or just meandering around a new neighbourhood.

What do you like most about your hometown?
There’s a really cool underground music scene in Seattle, so there’re always small, intimate concerts at the local bars. I love bars with live music featuring up and coming artists!

Who’s your ideal date?
Someone who is authentic and funny. I love someone who exposes me to new ideas and pursuits.

I have a fascination with skylines, so probably sitting outside on a rooftop bar somewhere. I have a list of my favorite rooftop bars around the world and I’m still trying to decide which one in Hong Kong is my favourite.

What Hogwarts house would you be in and why?
I’m not a big Harry Potter fan – please don’t kill me. I always feel like I need to clear that up because people seem to take it very personally...

When people bite their string cheese.

A lot of desserts.
