ABOUT ME
It seems that my response rate is not high enough. From now on I try my best to response everyone's messages or requests!!
I am a optimistic, cheerful, easy-going and thoughtful girl ! It has been my second years to become one of the workforce army who follows the tedious daily working routine.
Still i feel passionate and vigorous insides and in order to add some excitement and spice in my life, I travel once or twice a year to meet new people and try new things. I am fascinated with those who has rich travel experience and so eager to hear about their stories and experience.I am also fond of meeting different countries people to exchange ideas, almost keen in it!
I think everyone can get along well with each other if they try to understand and embrace other's life values and cultures. I respect people no matter what kind of status, religion, sexual orientation, color they are. The world is so wonderful just because the exist of diversity.
Quote from : "Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."

PHILOSOPHY
Destination is never a place, but a new way of looking at things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I read a travelling book written by a Tanwaniese Photographer when I was 18 and started to use it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Overall it is great and awesome!Just wish some people don't consider it as a TINDER app. It ruins the CS spirit and may hold the new back from using it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did the wwoofing in West Australia in the summer of 2014. I went to kalbarri with my host and his families. It's was spectacular and that's the lifelong experience to me.
I was daunted and deeply impressed by the grandeur of the mountains and the perilous cliffs. At the end of the day we watched the sun going down slowly and hide itself behind the boundless ocean. The scenery was so serene and gentle like the mother earth safely tuck you in the cozy bed with her wonderful lullaby .
I feel its quite warm and emotional to witness the scenery like that with my host and his families. They treate me like one of their families.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to think about life itself(philosophy, politics and religion
I think happiness is the upmost pursuit in human life.
J.J.Rousseau once said, the more the modern civilization has developed, the more degenerate we become. Some so called sages want to dictate other's life by the name of virtue, while neglect the inherence of human nature.
