Hi😆this is Ashley（aka Fang Xuan） I’m 26years old. My to-do list before 30 year old is to travel 50countries&become a polyglot!
I’m a firm believer in Six Degrees Of Separation,it is a theory theorizes every person in this world is only a few steps from each other ,anyone is a friend of your friend’s friend. That the reason why I totally fall in love with this app,I could got the chance to meet more amazing people and have high “risk” of make quality friendship! Traveling is the best way to get to know the people beyond your everyday experience right.¿
 
Another goal of mine is to become a host in CS once settle down in Shanghai.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people~
My English teacher is a host as well as a surfer on this app. He recommended this app to us and showed us photos of his surfers. Seeing the awesome pics of his experience, I became confident that our increasingly connected world will bring a harmonious ，bright future for people regardless they background ，nationality and religion.We can get to know local life better and touched by both scenery as well as amazing people during the journey.

Another reason is that I want to help people I believe what you give is what you will receive.One crazy thing happened last month, a new friend that I met online sent me 400$ through PayPal to show his support when I was finding a job. I was surprised and declined the offer. But he insisted and said he had received help from a lots of people and strangers, so he quite believed in this “Pay it forward ” method to get good karmas. Anyway, after several rounds of talk I received the money and donated part of it to a nonprofit organization where provided free meals to the children of remote areas. Since then, I want to do more things to give back to the community and help more people (visitors/children/the old etc)
