About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be a dreamer

ABOUT ME

Yes, I can speak a lot of myself. Like how open-mind warmhearted and so on. But I think you will have your own impression on me.
"a stranger is just a friend you haven't meet yet."
So please meet me, then you will know me;)

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take life so serious. Life is no point when there is no craic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to travel and move a lot. I was obsessed with the feeling that being always 'on the road'. I met people, talked with people, drank with people and then left people. It makes me feel like I'm living in a bigger world rather than the real one.

However, I'm starting to feel a bit tired of moving. This year I moved back to Beijing from London, found a full-time job and hoping to settle down for a while. Because I don't want to cut the connection of outside world, I decided to host travellers again. I guess meeting different people from all over the world can offering hints on how to live my own life.
