About Me

CURRENT MISSION

One Year Working Holiday in Germany

ABOUT ME

After six years as a journalist, I decided to take a break and stand up for myself, explore more around the world before turning thirty.
I love to learn. I am a happy, motivated, open-minded student to almost everything!

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone is an Art piece in progress.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My friend had a great couch surfing experience last summer and shared many wonderful stories with me. This year I am taking my gap year in Europe, and looking forward to it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In this summer, I had my first CS experience in Barcelona, Milan, Marseille, Muchen! All my host are so nice! We had fun in Beer Garden, we played street fighter video game, I shared my Chinese paper cutting, and they taught me traditional dance! It is so nice to meet real and nice local people in the journey!

Interests

I like travelling with overnight bus, waking up in a new city; asking direction with body language, experience communication without words; I like the bad jokes in every cites´ walking tour, and the crowd selfie. I like going to wet market, flea market in old towns, even though I am so bad in bargaining. I like soaking up in museums, as well as in local cafe; hot chocolate for breakfast and local beer for dinner. I like every magic hour, having a walk in the sun set. I love to share stories of the locals, and to understand the character of a city. I find stars before going to bed, collect maps for every cities I have been, and like to write post card until there is no space for stamp. Yes, I always write too much, just like this one.

Can't just name one....
For life experience, being a journalist, sharing other' stories, witnessing moment of history, and experiencing the power of words, is always my dream, and I am proud that I become one.
For travel experience, last year I have been to Cambodia with my friend, and we had caught two sun rise and three sun set in Angkor Wat. Those beautiful moments make me feel the happiness in nature.
