About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world

ABOUT ME

My friend once said i'm a girl who can express everything with my smile. I'm very outgoing and love talking to people, getting to know their stories. Traveling is a passion of my life. even though i'm now working for this big company in Japan, my mind just can't be circled in the office or at my home, or within Japan. There's always a voice in my head nearly shouting to me to encourage me to get out and see the world.

I love reading and writing as well. I want to be a travel writer in future, to travel the world, write about my trips and other people's stories.

Also i enjoy drawing very much. And i'm a pretty good cook~

I can't wait to get to know the world, and people of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Hapiness is a journey, not a destination. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I got to know it from my friend.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not yet. Getting started :)

Interests

I love traveling, reading, writing, drawing, watching movies, taking adventures, lying on the grass in a sunny day and read a book. I collect postcards. I have more than 200 of them now, all from my trip and also my friends. I send a postcard to myself every time i traveled somewhere.

I also love animals a lot, both the fluffy lovely ones i can cuddle with (e.g.:dogs, cats, rabbits etc.), and the wild ones i can not cuddle with(e.g.:lions, tigers, dolphin). basically all of them. I like watching Animal Planet since i was young.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Friends. I watched more than 30 times of EVERY single episode. I can tell the whole story by only looking at the title of that episode. you can randomly pick one episode and i will play along with the story because i remember every single detail and almost all the lines.

I also like The Big Bang Theory (LOVE Sheldon), 2 broke girls(LOVE Max), CSI Las Vegas, Sex and the City

Favorite movies: The Shawshank redemption, Forest Gump, Letters from Juliet, Frozen, etc. I love G.I.Joe, fast and furious, Star Trek, these kinda movies too.

For music, i like pop, jazz, blues, rock, country, folk, classics, basically everything~
