ABOUT ME

My Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/xiao.liu.1675
I am a nice and well-educated person,very friendly and knowledgeable.
I grew up in Beijing, the capital of China. I am an original Beijinger. I can speak perfect Mandarin and good English.
I am pretty hospitalble. I like help people I meet. I believe love is a circle and traveling is the best way to deliver love.
I have a dream that go to all of the countries I love in the world.
I really like Easten Europe. For example,I love USSR countries such as Russia,Ukraine and Belarus. I also love Balkan countries such as Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia. Romania and Bulgaria are the nice places as well. Of course, don't forget Poland,Hungry and Slovakia. In addition, I like those Central Asian countries named Stan because they are the places which mixed cultures, religions,languages and nations.
I love lake very much！Lake Baikal, Lake Balkhash, Aral Sea and Caspian Sea are the Top 4 in my mind.
I like crossing the border in land. When I travel, I perfer taking train or bus to taking airplane.

PHILOSOPHY

It is never too late.
Better late than never.

The only thing what you can not lose is the experience what you already have.
Please live for today because tomorrow maybe never comes !
Traveling is the best education.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to meet new people and share experience,knowledge,feeling,creativity with each other. I want to make cross-culture communication with people all over the world.
A lot of people don't understand the real Couchsurfing spirit ! Couchsurfing for me is more than just one free place to sleep! CS is a great place to exchange ideas, experiences ,traveling stories and cultures.It is a nice platform to make new friends! So if you come here only for hunting one free place to sleep, you suck !

Music, Movies, and Books

I think that when the people like similar things as movies,music,art,etc... that often means they have similar feeling. And it's good to know what people like in order to know what kind of ideology they have.

Movies:
The proof of life
A Slight Case Of Murder
The Shawshank Redemption

I like slowly and quiet music.
I like art as photography and literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. I almost traveled around China and Europe.

2. I used to give up a job for traveling. When I was about to graduate from my university in July 2011, I had already get a job and then my boss asked me to work since June 2011. He said that he would quit me if I do not start work in June. At that time,I rejected! This is because I decided to travel with my friend to Tibet in June long before. And I already made a promise to my friend to travel together. I think promise is the most important thing in my life! What a big fucking job? What a big fucking boss? I don't care! Freedom and dream is the real meaning of my life. Going to Tibet is my dream and then I realize my dream,That is enough!

3. I took a bottle of water from Lake Baikal in Siberia to Beijing in China.

4. I traveled more than 140 days in one trip.

5. I almost traveled around the Black Sea as I visited all of the countries beside Black Sea but Romania.

6. I went around the eastern circle of the Trans-Siberia Train in the summer of 2012.

Teach, Learn, Share

1. I have a lot of knowledge about History. My Brazilian friend named Beatriz said to me that i have more knowledge about the history of Brazil than lots of Brazilian people.

2. I can share my traveling stores with you. As an experienced traveller, I have been to more than 30 countries.

3. If you like, I can teach you some Chinese language and Chinese culture.

4. I studied in Capital University of Economics and Business in Beijing, studied in University of Stirling in UK and studied in Unitec Institute of Technology in New Zealand. So I got three degrees. They are Bachelor of Economics in Finance, Master of Science in Media Management and Master of Professional Accounting respectively.

5. Currently, I am working as an Editor for a Chinese Property Protal in NZ .
Before, I was a Business Representative for Allianz China when I was a sophomore in University. After graduation from University, I worked for Chinese Central Television Station Stock Channel as an Editor for one year. After I backed to China from UK, I worked for a NGO named Chinese Organizations for Rare Disorders as a Project Officer for one year. I also worked for China Machine-Building International Hebei Corporation as an Accountant for 8 months. In NZ, I was doing volunteer work for ACT Party New Zealand before.

6. As a super football (soccer) fan, I know everything about football (soccer). I love German and Eastern European soccer very much. My teams are FC Bayern Munich in terms of Club team, German National Team and Croatian National Team in terms of National team. I also like many Eastern European football teams such as Kiev Dinamo, FC Shakhtar Donetsk, CSKA, St Petersburg Zenit, Ukrainian National Team and Russian National Team. My favorite football player is Miroslav Klose, the highest scorer in FIFA World Cup.
