I began my journey with Couchsurfing (CS) in 2012. Back then, I was asked to filled in all blank boxes and I tried my best to do it. Now that I'm updating my profile, I found the old info (as below) was a little cheesy, yet still decided to keep it, as that was my spirit so start CS :).

CURRENT MISSION

Making my recipe of life unique in my own way!

ABOUT ME

A daydreamer with wanderlust and free spirit, loving stupid stuffs!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short......so keep it simple......live it to the fullest with dignity and decency......give out love......learn new things every single day......practice to listen with compassion.

I made a lot of big mistakes and learn a whole lot......Now I'm going to make some more!

We don't need a reason to help people!

Truly mature people do not judge as they accept that other people have quite different needs and directions for their lives.

Embrace diversity in life!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This all started in 2012 when I was looking for something crazy and interesting to do to celebrate my quarter life crisis aka my 5th twenty. I had heard about CS before yet hadn't had a chance to try as I often traveled with friends back then. Just in time, I was going on a trip to the Philippines by myself. I decided it was time to do that crazy something for real (also I was bored to travel on my own :D). So I started writing down my profile. (That's why you will see that my CS profile is in quite the old form)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thanks to CS, I got wonderful experience with 2 hosts in Manila and Puerto Princessa (Philippines)!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Done:
- Went trekking 10km in a mountainous area when I had just had my right leg recovered from a knee surgery
- Motorcycling up and down hills through super steep slopes to a tea village called Pankam in Hsipaw, Myanmar - all by myself (I was convinced by my friend that we could do it. I almost wanted to cry half way up when thinking about the return trip. Try to go through a knee surgery twice because of motorcycle accidents, you will understand why I didn't want to force myself to be brave and strong in that situation)
- Pushing myself out of my comfort zone in development and international affairs to try a physical production job for a Hollywood blockbuster, working 14 hours/day.

Seen: every single thing I've seen in my entire life is just amazing, all of them.

教，学，和分享

Learn: I'm a life-long learner.

Then it's all about sharing: things that I know about cooking, food and cuisine/ useful information and tips about places I've been to/ or even just a cup of coffee or a story about international development work.
