Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travelling as much as I can! But definitely the progress would be made step by step. I have been to most of the countries in South-East Asia and I want to explore the south Aisa as well as south America!

Want to be a nice host to people who come to my place and being a couchsurfer is always my favorite option of travel~

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC:

Use to be a great great fan of Backstreet Boys during my high-school time. Now, mostly obsessed with old-school rock music, popular Chinese songs of 70s (mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan), folk songs of all parts of the world!

I love watching live rock show, especially the show of local band.

MOVIES:
Films by Eric Homer (France), Emir Kusturica (Yugoslavia), An Lee (America), Xie Jin (Chinese)... many more to be listed

BOOKS:
As I study literature, it's hard to pick up my favorite. But I read quite a lot about sociology, political science, novels and news reports.
