About Me

IMPORTANT Please check my home arrangement section before sending your messages. Please send me proper messages about hosting, NOT a couch request. Please don't send me friend request until we meet in person. I've got lots of strange messages recently. I hate to say but I don't like to repeat something more than twice that I already said.

I am a believer, believe in Jesus Christ. I am Cantonese, settled back into real life in Xiamen.
- In 2013, I cycled in 11days on china's tropical island located in the South China Sea - Hainan. Cycled down the east coast and cycled back along the west coast where made me having chance to explore the seaside villages along the way.
- In 2020, I bicycled 2160km in 21 days in China from Chengdu, Sichuan Province to Tibet.
- In 2022, I bicycled 561km in 6 days on Duku Highway, Xinjiang, China.
- And spent more than 3 years hitchhiking in China from 18-21.

I could be talkative/ quiet depending on the person I'm talking with. I love traveling, spent all my travels on my own so can completely relate to the solo traveller. Enjoy traveling which could be connected with a knowledge and knowledge can be connected with a wisdom.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer staying in the hostel or YHA; I use couchsurfing sometimes. Those 3+ years I was on the road in China , there were countless people who helped me a lot. I can’t forget others for their goodness, ever. There is a saying, "DO TO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM TO YOU".
I first discovered coushsurfing long long ago when I met a girl who has experienced on traveling. She recommended me this way to travel. Since I deeply believe that there is more than a way to meet locals and know different cultures, which can make my life unforgettable.

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIE: leap year. My favorite movie, one and the only which I've watched it a dozen times or so and never get tired of it. The movie I could watch over and over without having to fast forward. Life will show you who's really real, just like in the movie. I love it!!

BOOK: one of my favorite books is THE FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES. The purpose of love is enhance the well-being of another, not to satisfy your own desire. Therefore, learning to speak another person's primary love language is the most effective way of loving others.

MUSIC: when I become Christian, listening HYMN has become an indispensable part of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Experience/ languages/ culture exchange, etc. It's allllll about SHARING :D

I don’t like the words Teaching, but I like the word Sharing and Learning, as there isn’t right or wrong in our life, we are just here to share our own values and the way we live.
