About Me

2016's updating:
it is really some -how interesting to see my previous ambitious words here, a little bit ironical as well :)
I didn't log into this community for three years--because I am busy following the majorities 'routine--yet still possess a huge band of dreams but more practical.
Life is as hard as an over-night baguette. I would leave all these good memories here as a toast to these passing by years and lessons I've learned in the real world. :)

CURRENT MISSION

being unique: je suis une

PHILOSOPHY

€œTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. € | Mark Twain
I do appreciate the ancient Chinese Philosophy: Tao.
His goodness must not be a partial and transitory act, but a constant superfluity costs him nothing and of which he is unconscious.
Everything is so lively, they have an eye in observing this world; even a leave of the tree may be your lover for your last life in this forever changing world, who will accompany with you all the time. That makes me to have a rational view but with romantic sense :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I learnt couch surfing from my friend Angelika, who is my model in purchasing the dream and travel. I would like to share with people about my own culture, my own experience, and I always learn something from the others.
I gradually know that couch surfing is absolutely not the free place to live for one night ; it is a new territory for you to find people who could understand you and could share the same value with you :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

thanks to my friend angelika; This is the first time I join the couch surfing! I don’t have a lot experiences; but as far as I could say…it is always with surprise! I explored an exciting feeling, when you finally met the person you don’t know; but soon talked as if you are friends knowing each other for a long time! I think it is something lost at a cold concrete wall in a busy and money-oriented society; I cherished all the people who talked to me and never hesitate in exchanging their ideas! These are composed my memories and make me a real human-being.
i know exactly that i can't enter to anyone's life; but they once opened a door to me; and share me their perspective in their world...it is like water-painting; they completed my painting with different colors !
I thank all the people i met through my journey; they helped me in accomplish my mission in my life; and they also compose parts of my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now I am reading "le dernier Fils du Ciel"; a French writer for the history of the last emperor in China
I also believe that the only language universal is music!
I just listen to some band which is not very famous, especially from northern Europe
But considering classic music, I will recommend yiruma; an Asian piano musician.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had my first sailing in sofia, Bulgaria
Itried my skiboard in helsinki, Finland
I learnt how to build art works in Montpellier,France
I paint the house in athens,Greece
these are all the excellent living experiences thanks to the couchsurfing...it brought me so many unforgatable experiences in my life.
I have experienced the biggest earthquake in china and survived in 2008!
I once jogged 50KM in puy-de –dome and tanned like a tomato :)
The first time, I traveled in Italy alone and all along the way, people always helped me ...it is a good start of travelling alone!
Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland gave me a good culture lesson!
i traveled alone for 4 weeks as if i was dead and reborn again, so many things happened ...but i could say i am much more mature than ever! i finally access to myself more, knowing how weak and how strong i could be at the same way :)
And a lot of amazing things are waiting for me in the future...no right now!

Teach, Learn, Share

this is what travelling gave to me:
1. You will grow as a person
2. Freedom
3. Simplicity
4. Food, Glorious Food
5. Meet New People
6. Nature
7. Become Street Smart
8. You only live once
I like to share with people of my unique opinion and I want to learn more from the people, every one through exchange their ideas.
Friends are surrounding me, there are not too many but there are around me, everywhere, anytime, anyplace, hidden and waiting me to open to trust.
