I'm a local Hainanese, keen to make friends around the globe. I currently work in HNA base, near Meilan Airport, but I live close to the beautiful holiday beach, 30km away from CBD. I love traveling, boating, swimming and outdoors. Even now I have a full time office job Monday to Friday, I will try to spend my weekends away from home, to the beach for fishing, to camp at the volcano crater near my hometown or to some crazy outdoor adventures. Being a travel frantic, I also love to hear your exciting traveling stories, so please tell me wherever beautiful places you have been/seen in the world.

Contemplating deep about ourselve in this short span of lifetime, I feel that we have both live under the same canopy on this planet with full of beauties and wonders, which however most of us haven't had the opportunities to discover and experience. Therefore, we should cherish and protect each other and pour out the best of our goodness.

Life is so short, but let us not dwell in our own small world, go out there to share others your good visions, sights, memories and future prospects. This is what I like, and I hope you are the person who can also ignite my heart with those impressive and profounding pictures. If not by coincidences but by fate, I'm fortunate enough to be your host or just a humble surfer, let's sing with our hearts, embrace with our souls and be a good blessing for one another at this elapsing moment of our universe.

To describe my house, my family has a big apartment of many rooms for lease and there are always empty spaces for well-behaved people to lodge in. The rent for each unit is cheap for 350 per one month. We also have a furnished guest room for temporary living, which is free to host.
