About Me

My facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009663427679#

I have got the chance to spend one-year working holiday in New Zealand ( Visa approved), it will begin on August 18th, 2016 as I will land in Auckland Airport in the afternoon. I think it is the best birthday gift I have ever had, at the age of 26, I realize my dream finally. Cheers for myself!

When I was 25, I realized that my repetitive lifestyle couldn't go on any more. I quited my office job which is boondoggling, following my heart to do what I want at that time. When compared to be an obedient employee, I prefer to be the real boss of my life, tougher and more demanding as it is, it is worth. So I began to carry out my travel plan at that time.

Although I am a Chinese, the way I live and think is much more like a westerner.
I do believe in that

LIFE IS WHAT YOU DO, NOT WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT!

I am curious about new things, and I do cherish the emotional syncretism with different people I meet. If I could not travel the world, maybe I could make friends with people from different countries all over the world, LOL

Hope that I could have a chances share Chinese culture with you by cooking delicious Chinese dishes or reprensenting traditional Chinese artwares ( I am so good at that), my will-be friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Though I have gone to some countries for traveling or business in the past, I have never LIVED or WORKED in a foreign country for a year long. I do want to know more about the country I will go to, so I think to live in a local home is the best way to realize that.

What's more, I have never tried couchsurfing before, it is a totally a new thing for me, I want to try it now. It will be pretty cool if I could share delicious Chinese dishes with the host I will meet! ( I love cooking, and I love to share the delicious dishes with my friends, too. )

Music, Movies, and Books

I think that I am a musical maniac, and love various genres of music. I spent most of my time listening music if I was alone. My favourite singers are:

Faye Wong (She is a legendary female artist in China, I love her airy voice and her transcendental enlightenment in music and life)

Adam Lambert ( His live performace is sooooooo great!!! I do love his frankness and braveness to be gay!!!)

Jessie J ( She is so brilliant, incomparable in performing any songs, I could always be moved by her passion and love conveyed in her songs)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
