ABOUT ME
After living and working in UK and Germany for one year, I traveled to Brazil to experience the other corner of the world. Right now I come back to Guangzhou, China, settle down for work and life here. And finally have my own apartment in the center of the city with the best view and very excited to begin my experience of hosting travelers around the world, hooray:D
I am an enjoyable person, love historical movies and Pixar Animation, DJ Music also light music, love traditional Chinese Cuisine, love day dreaming, exploring and trying new stuff. 2 biggest dreams in my life, first buy a house with a swimming pool on a small island. Second: be an intelligent and humous person (Imagine an old man with Harry Porter's round glasses). Currently I am working in P&G in Marketing department.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is not a destination, it is a journey.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
When I volunteered in India 2 years ago, I met one polish girl who did Couchsurfing and she introduced me into this wonderful world.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
3 times in India:
one time with a Indian Businessman, who set up a NGO by himself to help more people. One time in Japtur, living around the ancient castle. One time in Dehli.
2 times in England:
One time in Cambridge University, my host is a PHD student from South America in Cambridge.
Another time in Brighton, England. Living with a lovely couple who takes me around the city for 2 days.
One time in Philippines
My host is a navy, he builded a house in the forest for all the CSers!That was amazing. Enjoy the organic food he grows and getting up in the nature was an unforgettable experience.

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: I love historical and animations. So 《Gladiator》is my favorite so far, watching for at least 3 times. 《 Das Leben der anderes》(A German Movie) 《 UP》
Music: I love DJ-Music from David Guetta, light music from Depapepe(A Japanese Band) and lots of Chinese original created songs (Although these original songs are not famous or trendy, but they are very special and give people unexpected inspiration)
Books: 《Walden》 First time I read this book, I gave up after reading first chapter. But after 2 years, the second time I picked up the book and read carefully, never have I ever felt so calm in heart.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
There are several amazing things I have done and I am sure there are more to come.
1. I went to India alone at the age of 19, volunteering in a slum area to teach English and Maths
2. Be the only one in Mainland of China, getting the marketing internship in Unilever, London, global headquarter.
3. Doing volunteering projects with more than 100 foreign volunteers across 30 countries for my 3 years in University.
4. Taking a gap year to travel around the world, which is I am doing right now.
Teach, Learn, Share
I think one of my biggest assets is my Chinese background. Born and grew up in China for more than 23 years, travel to more than 20 cities in China. I love to share with you Chinese culture, Chinese Business, Chinese Language and Chinese Food(I can cook some Chinese Cuisine). There are lots of interesting topics about China, I would love to discuss with you openly.
