About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently volunteering in , Yangon, Myanmar
Start this journey from 2017-2018 !

ABOUT ME

An outdoor person but not crazy. Obsessed with nature beauty and enjoy various activities interacted with nature:
-Hiking along the country lane in deep south-west China for over a month
-Climbing mountains in middle China and camping overnight
-Sight-seeing tour along the tranquil Rhine in Germany
-MY NEXT STATION: skydive or paragliding in AUSTRALIA!

A open-minded person. Obsessed with multi-culture.
-One month ago, I started my one-year volunteering program in Myanmar for setting up an IT database , acting like a real programmer.
- Two years ago, I joined a world-leading consulting firm, thinking to start a fancy career.
- Seven years ago, I chose to major in German language and managed to be a short-term interpreter in Germany during summer holiday.

So who am I? Am I an interpreter or an consultant or programmer? None of them. But it is all the roles I have ever experienced in the past that makes me who I am today. It is all the people I have ever met during the past time guides where to go next.

I had two experience with couchsurfing before, one with a lovely couple in Luzern, Switzerland; one with a independent artist in Chengdu, China. It's their generosity and kindness impressed me so much and made me believe there could be no national or language barrier.

I always want to pay back these kindness I received when one day I settle somewhere in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

-Work hard, play harder
-Calm down and keep experiencing
-Be thankful and cheerful

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

NEW UPDATE IN 2017: Surprisingly found and introduced to CS group in Yangon! This reminds me of my upcoming trip to Australia, it's time for CS spirit to shine ~

last year i was a volunteer at an international hostel in Sichuan Province in china,which is the nearest place to Tibet i've ever been. during that month i met lots of friends from all over the world,and from them i new there is a nice community online called couchsurfing.In this small online world,we can trust and help each other in full heart.who wants to get help,should first learn to give,or at least show a enthusiastic and sincere heart.So from then on i believe that's the community i've always pursued!! And i have tried to find couch host in Chengdu,China,and it did make it! the nice host made me very touched and impressed!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking with my boyfriend in the southwest of china for two months(2011,summer),that's the first time when I feel so close to Tibet.
When I was just 10 years old,I traveled with my aunt along the silk road for a month.Although the memory of that time is a little vague,I never regret having been there once!!
