About Me

A Marathon Runner, A German Learner :)

This will be my second-time experience in couch surfing. Feel free to check the reference from Lars @ Cologne.

My first couchsurfing experience in Cologne is perfect. Would be awesome if I could stay in your place in Frankfurt :)

Feel free to check my IG, update it everyday for my Happiness Project:

Or we can do a Skype call so we can get to know each other more before meeting up :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently I am on my working holiday in Germany.

Sight-seeing is no longer enough. It would be awesome if I could get deeper, to know more locals and different cultures.

If you are German/learning German - that's even more awesome. Wish we could practice Deutsch zusammen :)

Teach, Learn, Share

1. Fitness and running:

I can definitely give you tips on maintaining healthy life and fitness

2. Cooking:

I am always interested in healthy recipes.

For Unhealthy food - Burgers are my favorite

My favorites in general: Italian pasta, English breakfast, German dishes (the pork knuckle etc.)

3. Language:

If you want to learn Chinese - that's my mother language

If you want to practice German - sehr gut. Ich brauche auch ihr helfen :)

If you want to practice English - that's my mother language too - I was there for six years for my A-Level and University degree

5. IT/Future Trend:

Let's brain storm and imagine what could happen in the future. I have read Homo Deus recently - Just awesome!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you a lot about my story of traveling in 20+ countries.

Knowledge: Science/Film/Philosophy/Sports - I am always curious to learn. I would regard myself as a generalist. Instead of being a specialist, I would rather be a solid generalist in a lot of areas. So just let me know what's your interest, what you are good at, and I am more than happy to learn from you.

I am a quick info absorber so a good and deep conversation is guaranteed :)

(i.e. The best generalist in the business world at the moment is probably Elon Musk - he is my aspiration)

Cooking: I love running, and I need more pasta pasta and pasta. If you want a good pasta meal from me. No problem, let me do it :)

Cleaning: That's important. I won't take things for granted. If you need help to do some house cleaning together, definitely no problem,
