Hi! Everyone, I'm Fan Jialing or you can call me Darlene for your convenience.My first acquaintance of couchsurfing was four years ago by reading a book"travel on couch"written by Leo who seems to be the most experience chinese member in Couchsurfing. To be honest I was quite skeptical at first. Is it safe? Is it a good idea to trust a stranger and live in his/her home? But after seeing so many people have such a great time with their hosts during their travel, I feel like having my first step out and seeing different amazing people in the world.
I am actually an outgoing girl and easy to get along with and I am curious about different culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Don't want to be one of the typical tourists--eating in restaurant,sleeping in hotel,taking some pictures and heading to the next place. I'd like to spend my time with locals and talk with them,exchanging life experience and ideas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 12 , I played a game with a foreign teacher, he told a number (from 1-100)he had in mind to another teacher and let all the students guess . The one who with the closest number will get reward. And I looked him in the eye then said 11, and Louise was like WHAT !!!cause it was exactly the number in his mind!
Then after 8or9 years , I shared this story with my roommates in college. But they didn't believe it . So we tried this again,one roomie told the other one the number she had in mind. Then they were totally in shock when I spoke out the exact number .

Perhaps they were just lucky guesses but I still think it's amazing cause it was like 1/10000 chance that I got the exact number twice times.

I am not sure if it will work the next time , but I still have trust in my sixth sense!
