Overview
About Me
From Canton(Guangzhou), south of China.
Working in Paris.
People from any corners of the planet, living different lifestyles, with different values are my inspirations.
Don't assume that I know well about China, I thought I did too! Until I found that the "China" that I knew was only the part of China where I grew up.
Sometimes I might not be good at expressing myself, but I learnt to do things that scare me in any fields in my life. Being able to face the fear is more lit than being fearless. That helps me explore more possibilities in life and be more authentic, in other words: Expand(if you're a spiritual person you know what I'm talking about ;)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
- Desire to break out of bubbles of my rigid value system.
- A city is not just about the houses, the streets, the river, the sea.. If a place is amazing, then the people, the nation who shape this place and are shaped by it, also worth making connection with.
Interests
Music is my life, I played guitar, piano in groups of different genres in France and in China.
Love to discover music from different cultures.
Find out how cultures vary geographically.
(architecture, music, food, languages, people's character and habits).
I love dances, any kinds.
And modern/contemporary arts that I could have connections with.
I love whales, dolphins and sharks. It's one of my dreams to dive and swim along with them.
I already have a boat license and my next is to learn to free dive
