About Me

ABOUT ME

I am an enthusiastic person, so curious about the world. I am from shanghai, China but I stay in Trollhättan, Sweden. People around me feel that I am the sunshine and to be with me you will be happy and think positively. I like share--share my experiences and share my feelings. I am not afraid of going forward slowly, I am afraid of standing still. If I use three words to describe myself, that will be curiousity, passion and perseverance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One of my friends told me about Couchsurfing 2012. I found it is a good way to know people from different countries. Every time when I host or when I surf, I can always learn new things.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love Couchsurfing, it is not only to find a place to stay, it is not only to see scenic spots, it is a journey to know people and to experience the cultural differences. It is also a journey to build up trust and understanding, to communicate new ideas and thoughts, which can make the world better and better.
Once I was inspired by one of my couch guests, who lighted the sparkle of my heart. He told me that things you don't do it right now, you won't do it in the future. That is true. How many times we talk to ourselves that we will do something in the future?But when? It should be now. Be inspired by people and inspire people. Let the positive energy flow around the world.

Interests

I like singing! Don't sing karaoke with me because you won't get the chance to sing:)
I like dancing! Rueda de casino is so fun!
I like jogging ! Jogging in the forest and listening to the birds! Fantastic!
I like Podcast! Listen to podcast is the first thing I do when I wake up everyday. Then I do it when I am cooking, walking, running and biking. Cannot imagine my life without Podcast :) I even made my own Podcast--Jag är Trollhättebo.

I like arrange activities ! A good coordinator !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got my Swedish driving license.

It is a long story to tell. I spent 50000kr and failed three times. It was soooooo hard for me but I did not give up. As I said before, I appreciated each moment with a little progress and in the end I made it.
