I love to learn, no matter languages, skills and people, and traveling is a good way to understand other cultures, to learn what and why the people do things around the world.

To fulfill my dream, starting from August last year I am having a round-the-world trip alone, first spending two months in Europe, and now having the fifth month in South America, later I will head to Australia and a few places more in Asia, before going back home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Previously I just made use of the holidays available to make short trips. Though already staying in hostels and sometimes in home stays (like Airbnb), but it is not very possible to experience the local life enough. In this trip I have heard many interesting people sharing their amazing experience in couch surfing, as a result I should definitely try it!
