Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Working hard to save money for my next mission - to live and study in Europe :)
while enjoy living a simple mindful life in Alice Springs and continue to learn and practice natural healing. In 2015, I have completed my mission to study natural healing/medicine in Taiwan :)
ABOUT ME
I grew up in Hong Kong and lived in Adelaide in Australia for 10 years. Now I am living in the center of Australia - Alice Springs. I think I am a born traveler. I would like to travel all over the world to see different landscape, people, culture and living styles. Another reason I like travel because I think it's a good way to experience life and to grow up. I am a student of the Buddha's teachings which i found it really helps me to be a better and happier person. I also like to learn new and different things. To me the nature is the most beautiful thing on earth and beings are living in one family in one home. I have found my passion which is natural healing!
I lived in China, HK, Taiwan, Australia, USA, Guatemala and traveled to Canada, UK, France, Italy, Vatican, Switzerland, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and Korea.
PHILOSOPHY
I try to live mindfully; I believe life is from moment to moment and I am responsible for my life, happiness and health. I try to live within nature and be balanced, mindful and to learn to see things as they really are, not they appeared to be; to live happily, in harmony and peace with myself and others
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I always want to see/understand/experience the world. I prefer not just travel but to learn meet and live with locals to really get to know the life of the place. So when I heard of CS which immediately caught my eyes. I used CS in Taiwan the first time that was awesome! CS is just a brilliant idea/place/support for people who love travel and get to know locals!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I and a friend stayed in 4 CS hosts in Taiwan and met 2 CS hosts. They were all very nice and interesting people/families and helped us a lot! Later, 3 people we met in Taiwan came to Australia. When we meet again we just felt like old friends! Amazing & incredible!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
attended a 10 days silent meditation course - Vipassana meditation. the hardest but the best training on mind over matters! learning how our mind works, how we see the world, how to see things as they really are not they appeared to be or what we want, the art of living, how to live happily and in harmony with ourselves and with others. I highly recommend everyone to give it a try, you will find it very benefitial. info: http://www.dhamma.org/
