About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Adapt to my new life

ABOUT ME

I spent almost three years studying in France, since then I fell in love with travelling. I'd like to see what I haven't seen, taste what I haven't taste, and do what I haven't done. In one sentence, being a person different from who I was. I believe, life needs adventures.

I joined in CS because I like discovering different things and trying something I’ve never done, that was the first reason why I joined in the CS. And then, I’d rather meet different people than do sightseeing, so I almost can’t travel without the CS.

PHILOSOPHY

Some people always have their goals, I'm one of them, but I only have goals for short term, but never for long term. I think that's because I like to enjoy the current moment that I am living in. I can't change the past, I can't see the future, what I can do is just making every minute count.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I joined in couchsurfing, I searched hoster everytime I went voyage. It's really a good way to know local people and culture, even some history hidden in secret. I really like to have some experience like this. Thanks to CS, I made a lot of friends, that's great!
When I was a student in Lille, France, sometimes I went to the meeting organised by other surfer or hoster in Lille for sharing our experience and ideas.
But it was a pity that I couldn't host anyone. Because I was living in a small room of university. That was impossible to put a couch.
Then I was back to Nanjing, China to continue my study, but I'm living in a university dorm which is shared by 4 girls, so it would be impossible to host anyone when I'm at Nanjing.
However, on the holidays, I usually go home in Wuhan. There's a spare room in my parents' house. They like to host people just as I do.
