Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard of it several years ago, but I actually started my couchsurfing experience in February of 2014 when I was planning my trip to eastern Europe. I met some quite nice hosts, and received lots of help even I couldn't make it to stay in their places. I've always been a warm person and have hosted some of my friends several times while they visit Bordeaux. However, I'd like to meet other people that I don't know and listen to stories all over the world!

A bit info added in 2017: Couchsurfing is literally the first platform I used that brought be to the concept of "sharing economy" (Well, I've used Wikipedia and other stuff before, but by then the world "sharing economy" has not been formalized and well spread) which I have been curious ever since and eventually decided to do a PHD on this.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have trouble doing those kind of lists because there are many!!!
I enjoy classic and science fiction novels (maybe the Chinese ones better than the American ones, if you enjoy the Three Body Problem) quite much, but am not addicted enough to be an expert :)
High quality academic papers are also enjoyable while reading, it's true!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

--Booked super cheap tickets one year in advance with my high school friends, got the visa 4 days before departure and spent 11 wonderful (though full of "accidents")days in Malaysia in the summer of 2010. That was my first journey abroad and I began exploring bag packing!
--Decided casually to choose the french dual-degree in the first year of university, which changed my life

Teach, Learn, Share

I can repeat a piece of melody on an instrument by just listening to it. (Well maybe that's nothing so special)
I'd like to teach you some Chinese cooking skills, our culture and language,etc.
I'm looking forward to any ordinary or exiting story:)
