ABOUT ME

Hello, i've been working and living in Qingdao for over 5 years, it's a "small city" (well, small in china, 8mil.people) with a beautiful coastline, which locates in between beijing &shanghai,abt 1.2h flight distance away. Welcome if you wanna pay a visit and drink Tsing Tao Beer!!

Personally i'm easy going, optimistic and with a big heart (not size). I do like to learn more of different cultures, make friends with people from around the world, in this way i'm learning more of the beauty of our lovely world. ;)

It's been some years i'm at the phase trying to find a balance between a ordinary life and a unique adventurous life style, and am still dancing over it..

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a Buddhist, and i've been trying to read the Bible for a bit while. I think i've figured out what i have been questioning myself for years, "what am i living for" -Come talk to me if you also have concerns about that, we could have interesting conversations if you have some good philosophy opinions;)"Peaceful and grateful mood is my moment";)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was introduced to CS by a gf of mine, she asks me to check it out, so i did... and surprisingly i found out there are so many cool and awesome people here! I love it! ;D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before joining CS, i've been hosting and was hosted by many of my friends off line.I started CS experience since Dec. 2011. It's a amazing platform for nice people to meet each other, it feels like almost wherever i go, i've got friends to meet up, even we've never met before! It's such a comfortable and warm feeling, because CS got the idea of friendship: "friendliness, helpful, respect, sharing and laughters".

Interests

I like traveling (obviously) and reading, keep the habit of capturing my thoughts/feelings by putting it down. I love good food and good wine (not chinese white wine: 50degrees+ alcohol!!!), that goes perfect with Jazz/Reggae music. I like art, e.g. drama play, dancing show, paintings, specially oil painting and chinese calligraphy paintings. I like outdoor sport, hiking on mountains, rock climbing, bicycle riding, etc., start to learn to sail since i'm in Qingdao! ;)

I like the quality time with people and friends, also the time being with myself, that's when i find peace and calm from inside, just put in my favorite CD and get myself a drink, i can sit for looong time at my balcony.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think - all the good and bad things people have done after some time will be "gone with the wind". Experience are the "tools" that helps our inner spirit to grow to complete, that's the key point..

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, some people say that i'm pretty relaxed to be with -one of the reasons is that i don't care much if i am taken advantage of, from people around (materially).

It always depends: if it's someone you don't know much -after they take advantage of you, just accept it, but you learn what type of people they are. if it's your close friends -tell them the ugly truth what you think in a tolerant voice -it's worth to make effort to maintain a long-term friendship. if it happens on your loved ones -just let them take advantage of you, with a big package of love!!! ;D
