I am Chen, you guys can call me tommy, my English name. I live in a small city in Guizhou province of China. The weather here is not hot in summer, it is very pleasant to stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe this is not only a better way to know people and their custom and culture but also a good opportunity to make nice friends.

Interests

I prefer to run before dinner three times a week, it is a good way to be fit. Also,I took Marathon two years ago.
I like riding bike on weekends with some of my friends. Last year, my friends and I cycled to Tibet from Sichuan, taking 28 days for about 2200 kilometers'journey.
Reading is my favorite thing and there are a lot of books in my room.
Sometimes I will learn to play guitar when I am tired of reading or some other stuff.
I love traveling because I really love to meet different things, make friends and hear stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not focus on one style of music. Country music, folks music, DJ,rock, etc. Followings are my always enjoying: "you are beautiful" by James Blunt; "my love" by Westlife; "yellow" by John Lennon... For books, I love literature works like"Letter from an Unknown Woman"and "On the Road",etc. I really love movies and I have to say that it is Hollywood movies that make me love English at the first beginning. Movies like "Happiness" and"beautiful life" really touch my heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In June,2006, my friends and I rode bikes to Tibet from Sichuan, the journey is about 2200 kilometers, 28 days in total. There were many mountains altitude above 5000 meters we had to climb over. We experieced many many obstacles and overcame unimaginably tough times . Also we saw wonderful sceneries and gained meaningful and unforgettable memories.

I teach English in a high school in my town, most students are from countryside and their English are not good. They can do some paper tests,but they can't speak. Of course,I am still try my best.
