About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the new world
ABOUT ME

Hi , fellas! I see myself an adventurer other than a tourist. I've been to Europe many times. In the past 9 years I repeatedly traveled to the same countries in E. Europe everytime, such as Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, even Russia, etc.

Generally I always focus on social parts of the countries I travel to, rather than just sight-seeing. If I think it's worth exploring the culture, I usually decide to extend my stay or re-visit a country. As courtesy. I tend to observe things before passing on judgement quickly, I used to generalize everything, though.
In my traveling journey, after intensive interaction with locals in various countries I went to , I learned to share thoughts with people from different cultural backgrounds. Besides all the things I mentioned, I've been told that I'm a caring person with modest sense as a human being. Plus, I'm still out-going at all, ready for new ideas and suggestions.

A quick note: I explored Brazil for 2 months, after I took the advantage of visa waive program to come to the country back in the Fall of 2016 . I stayed the German town in south of Brazil for the most time before I continued traveling in South America, heading towards Venezuela as the final stop ( unfortunately couldn't make it in the end).

PHILOSOPHY

Anybody is everybody.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

in Fall, 2009, I met my american friend in Europe who told me about CS. I decided to give it a try and it made me a lot of friends. It was phenomenal.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE


A number of years ago, I began a major surfing on a trip to Europe. Back in 2013, I traveled to Hungary and experience ed as a guest quite a lot . then I decided to live there for 6 months where I set up my first couch abroad at my apartment. Overall, the experience has been outstanding. I made a lot of friends during surfing.

Interests

Well,I'm fairly good at certain things, such as cooking, learning foreign languages, picking up sports. Somehow, I can't get enough. I read a lot; enjoy watching foreign films while refining my language skill. I like to explore exotic cultures; try to be creative, even though I don't really have any talent.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew 5 times within a week in Europe in 2009, thanks to the networking of Ryanair and Wizzair without pilot strike back in the days.
