About Me

Just graduated and now working as a Chinese language teacher in Singapore. I believe that there is no right or wrong in front of the culture. It's just a different way of living. The thing that I always try to do is respecting and learning the positive side of them. Experiencing different culture and living style had inspire me a lot. It widen my vision and give me another perspective to reflect on myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The first time I heard about couch surfing is through watching a Taiwan movie called Taipei Exchanges. After that, I heard couch surfing for the second time by reading a book called I slept on couches of 81 people. It is written by a Taiwanese girl who travel around Europe by couch surfing. The book impress me a lot and make me wanna try to be a couch surfer...=)

I have couch surfed in HK for three times. Lucky me have met five great hosts. They did inspired me a lot. Because of them, I feel that I can continue couchsurfing.
