Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Used to be a vagabond for one year and a half on various walkabouts in Latin America. Now i want to settle down in my beloved Harbin for several years before departing another trip with my kids.
ABOUT ME
I have a couchsurfing wechat group, which may help you find a potential host in all tourist cities in China. My wechat is: 15045815770.
I volunteered in Africa.
Worked in Colombia.
Travelled for 15 months from USA to Antactica.
I have a newly born baby. So this year I can host surfers in harbin.
PHILOSOPHY
The world is big while life is short, so don't hesitate to venture your life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I want to share the stories of the passers-by. I have made a documentary with my hosts and friends in Latin America. I will work on another program with my surfers. By the way, I am writing my book/ journal about my trip. I believe the people I meet on the road are more impressive than the scenery.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first experience living with local families was in Tunisia (not couchsurfing), then I found it so interesting living with the locals. During my latin amrican trip, I enjoy couchsurfing a lot. When I am travelling, I benifit a lot from couchsurfing. When I come back to China, I will contribute to the community as well.
I think couchsurfing is a good way to know the locals and to meet new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Polar plunge into the icy water of Antarctica.
Dive in Lake Baikal in the winter of Sebaria Russia under the temperature of minus 40.
I love dessert. Camping in Sahara Dessert while watching the shining stars at night and riding camels in the hot wind. I once walked across Ku Bu Qi dessert, the 7th largest dessert in China.
I love animals. At Galapagos, scuba diving at 24m deep with shoals of hammerhead sharks and eagle rays and snorkeling with seals.
I volunteered in Tunisia, Africa
I worked in Colombia as an English teacher. I contribute to changing the fate of thousands of Colombian families.
I love Mexico, especially the death culture, tequila and mariach.
I once helped my Danish surfer find the location where her grandparents resided 80 years ago in harbin.
