About Me

CURRENT MISSION

on the way of looking for what she likes to do

ABOUT ME

Most of time I am talkative, optimistic and crazy, but sometimes I am quite.
Sometimes I love dancing, playing football, but sometimes I just stay more than a week at home painting and reading.
Chinese students are always confused of what they like. I am one of them. So when I am 20 years old, I think I need to indulge myself into being myself, so I go to England for an exchange program and seek my truth nature.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to be always content of myself and feel confident enough to face everything. BUT, actually, when I am crazy happy, I always forget who I am and will do nothing but laughing!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am on my exchange journey to UK. I think the most beautiful scene in one place is its people so something click on my mind. Then I join in the couchsurfing immediately.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

1) I've been host by one nice girl for two nights in March, 2014. I enjoyed being hosted by her and it's an exciting experience for both of us.So I decided to host people.

2) And then I was hosted by a very good 80 years old granny. I love her. We climbed the top hill in her city, have a picnic and even visited her primary school in Liverpool. She made me traditional English food and I made her Chinese traidtional food. When she cooked, I washed the dishes.At the end, we kissed each other and said goodbye. We had three beautiful days last week. It would be my most beautiful days in England.

3) My third host is a Canadian mother who have two lovely children in London. We had a five-hour lovely chat with each other, discussing what love is and how can we maintain them. I learnt a lot from her careful teaching methods to her children and her happy family. If I will have a family, it will always going to be like that.

4) A young Poland girl who is looking for a job in London is my fourth host. I went out with her in the second day to her simple home. From her, I knew how to keep balance in your dream and your life. Jo is a nice girl and we had been good friend now.

5) I visited Hilgien and her lovely arty room in the Hague. She is quite nice and served a standard Dutch meal. I always wish have a sister like her.

6) I never expected a male host and Wilfred is the first one!! It's a nice experience but I am not sure if he likes me. But I like him and know a lot of interesting things about how to get along with a man.

7) Blossom is my first guest in Preston. It is really a good experience talking with a unknown guest because you never know what you will know from her experience.

Interests

Is it a strange thing that I like handwriting. Just simply copy some lyrics, poems, and passages which I liked into any paper near me. It made me stay in quite and content. And I go to play football once a week and dance four days a week. You may think I am a sport-style girls. But I paint, photograph and read in my leisure time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't fancy particular type of music because I am not sensitive about music. But I can recommend you any kinds of Chinese movies, music and books. That means, I am not familiar with International movies and books. That's a tragedy, I know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I do is traveling to a far far remote village in secret to get rid of my study pressure. That's my first time to get rid of my family. That's particularly significant to me because that make me realize how small I am without being myself.

And another amazing experience is when I was about 11 years old, I saw my little cousin stand up in her two weak legs! That's the first time a child can walk!!

I used to walk 33 kilometers with my best friend in my 14 birthday and come across five snakes.

I help a stranger in the Guangzhou metro and she help me in my way finding my older sister and even pay for my ticket. At that time, I know when you help others you help yourself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make video, make website, photogragh and write. Yes, I am a student of Journalism.
Here's one of my website: http://volunteeringinpreston.weebly.com/
and my blog: http://applelinping.wordpress.com/

I can explain any strange Chinese phenomenon to you.
But help me, I don't know much about Europe.
