I gave myself the English name Alice after Alice in Wonderland when I was 11 and I have been living in adventures in my wonderland.

I am ENFP. I believe that "the unexamined life is not worth living".
Therefore, I have been trying to examining my life through self-reflection, reading, traveling and meeting new people.

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool – for love – for your dreams – for the adventure of being alive.

I travel for work on a weekly basis and I thought that I got my dream job since I always wanted a job where I can travel. I am trying to maximize my schedules to travel to more places on the weekends through work.

I love meeting new friends and traveling. I enjoy traveling by myself and meeting people in hostels or through couch surfing. It's always amazing to see how different people live life differently and colorfully.

In the end, we die alone with nothing but experiences and memories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my favorite saying is the famous Chinese one读万卷书不如行万里路，行万里路不如阅人无数。It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books; it is better to meet then thousand people than to travel ten thousand miles.
