CURRENT MISSION

To add vibrancy and richness to my life!:)

ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded and affable individual who welcomes challenges with open arms. Traveling is my forte, and I relish exploring foreign lands to discover new and exciting things. I am confident that I will continue to have countless enriching experiences in the future.

I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people and sharing stories with them. It's exhilarating to connect with individuals from all corners of the world and learn about their hobbies and interests.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is centered around the belief that nothing is impossible, and we should never underestimate our abilities. We often limit ourselves and shy away from challenges, but in reality, we have the potential to accomplish much more. I refuse to give up on my dreams and aspirations, no matter how difficult they may seem. After all, you never know what you're capable of until you give it a shot! :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm always eager to step out of my comfort zone and explore new things in life. After all, isn't that what it's all about? I firmly believe that we should never stop learning and discovering, and that's why couchsurfing has been such an amazing experience for me.

Couchsurfing provides a unique opportunity to connect with local people while traveling. By sharing our travel experiences, cultures, traditions, and hobbies, we can broaden our horizons and gain new perspectives. Meeting locals is essential to truly getting to know a city and experiencing it like a native. Rather than sticking to sightseeing and tours, I love spending time with locals and wandering the streets to discover hidden gems. I believe that life should be full of challenges and surprises, and that sometimes, over-planning can cause us to miss out on important moments. Let's embrace the randomness and see where it takes us!

Interests

First things first—I'm a self-proclaimed foodie. Food is not just a necessity for me; it's a passion, a gateway to cultures and flavors that never cease to amaze me. Whether it's indulging in aromatic spices from around the world or relishing in a perfectly crafted dish, I'm always on the lookout for culinary experiences that make my taste buds dance with delight.

Now, here's the twist—I'm also a health-conscious individual. I'm allergic to dairy products, but that hasn't stopped me from embracing a vibrant and nourishing lifestyle. I've become somewhat of an expert in finding dairy-free alternatives that are not only good for me but also satisfy my cravings for delicious food.

But it's not all about food for me. I also find solace and strength in activities that feed my body and soul. Yoga and hitting the gym have become integral parts of my life, providing me with a sense of balance and well-being. There's nothing quite like the feeling of stretching out on a yoga mat or pushing myself to new limits during a workout.

And let's talk wine. I must admit, I have a deep appreciation for a good glass of vino. From the rich and complex flavors of red wine to the effervescent charm of champagne, prosecco, and sake, I'm always eager to explore new tastes and learn more about the stories behind each bottle. But here's the thing—I'm not into binge drinking. For me, it's all about the experience—the quality conversations, the shared laughter, and the genuine connections forged over a glass of wine.

I have a love for photography, especially when I'm traveling. Capturing the beauty of different cultures, landscapes, and of course, mouthwatering dishes, brings me immense joy. It's amazing how a single photograph can transport you back to that moment and evoke all the wonderful memories associated with it.

And let's not forget cooking! I absolutely adore being in the kitchen, experimenting with flavors, and creating delicious meals from scratch. There's something incredibly satisfying about turning raw ingredients into a culinary masterpiece and sharing the joy of good food with others.

Music, Movies, and Books

I thoroughly enjoy watching movies that have a deep meaning or a surprising twist ending, such as Inception, Butterfly Effect, A Beautiful Mind, Click, and The Shawshank Redemption. These movies require the audience to stay engaged and keep thinking, which is something I absolutely love. I relish the opportunity to reflect on the themes and messages conveyed in these movies, and the impact they have on our lives. For me, there's nothing quite like the thrill of watching a movie that takes you on an emotional and intellectual journey, leaving you with new insights and perspectives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My journey to Australia was an incredibly enriching experience. I had the pleasure of meeting many new friends who were more than happy to share their culture and hobbies with me. The Great Barrier Reef was undoubtedly the highlight of my trip - it was simply extraordinary and breathtakingly beautiful! This was my first solo trip, and it will always hold a special place in my heart as an unforgettable experience.

Another trip that left an indelible impression on me was my visit to Tibet. I had the incredible opportunity to trek to the Everest Base Camp and even spent a night there. Can you imagine the feeling of being surrounded by an endless expanse of stars and galaxies? It was a humbling and awe-inspiring experience that I will cherish forever.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're interested, I'd be happy to teach you some Chinese and share some of my favorite Chinese recipes.

And on my end, I'm always excited to learn new things and experience different cultures. There's so much out there to discover, and I never want to stop expanding my horizons. Let's keep that sense of curiosity and adventure alive, yeah? :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share my travel experiences with you! Traveling has taught me so much and opened my eyes to different cultures and ways of life. Additionally, I'm more than happy to share my knowledge of Chinese traditions and cultures with you. It's important to celebrate and appreciate the diversity of our world, and learning about different cultures is a great way to do just that. Let's keep the conversation going and continue to learn from one another! :)
