ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in China until I was 17. On the age of 17, I got sick of living in a "cookie cutter" life so I decided to move to the other side of the ocean to get out of the pattern.

I am about to hit the road again, and I am ecstatic about what the world has to offer. There is no better way to describe this feeling other than Jon Krakauer's quote from "Into the Wild":

"Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.”
PHILOSOPHY
“The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences.”
"Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I read an article about a girl who used an unconventional way to travel in Paris---couch surfing. The person who hosted her gave her insightful perspectives about customs and culture. I researched about couch surfing and became a member ever since.
