About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Achieve world peace by bridging knowledge and commerce between China and the United States.

ABOUT ME

I caught the travel bug in 2010 as I often traveled for work. After becoming a graduate student and losing the unlimited financial support from my company, I had to find a more cost efficient way to satisfy my travel itch.

That was how I found hosteling and couch surfing. I now think that this is a much better way to travel as I love to meet different people and learn about different cultures. Thus, I am now open to hosting other travelers.

PHILOSOPHY

I have had several near death experiences. Therefore, I try to live life to its fullest and the following quotes basically fit what I try to do.

Just do it.
If something's worth doing, it's worth overdoing. Moderation is for cowards.
Carpe Diem...Seize the DAY!
