About Me

I'm easy going, energetic and always curious with things. I like adventures and challenges and I'm addicted to the outside world of my comfort zone. I like to make friends and have conversation with different people, just chill with drinks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been traveling around Europe frequently this year with my backpack. Normally I stayed at hostel in the cheapest shared room and it turn out to be so fun!!! For me, one of the best part about traveling is not about the places you visit, but the moment when you met different people and get to know new things or learn see things from a different perspective. More than one time I had the feeling of 'maybe destiny arrange me to meet this person is to show me this.' I don't actually believe in god, but those moment made me feel so touched and I guess it is to tangible for me to describe, haha.
For example, I met a German girl in Rome and she suggest me to go to Ramadan festival some day. Met a American lady at Nice, we talked about the development of country and their attitude toward art, used the quote from Le petite Prince to sum up everything. Made an Egyptian friend and he wrote a Arabic poem on my diary and I also get to know my name in Arabic . Had a great conversation at Milan with local designer, and can never forget what she said about the responsibility for young people to contribute to their country after oversea studies... I may not described it touchingly enough but hope it can make the concept I easier to understand. As staying in hostel and Airbnb, I found out I really enjoy these kind of experience.
To me, couchsurfing is exactly about this, it's about the local people you meet and are lucky enough to spend sometime with during the stay or host, get to know them more and be inspired. That's the reason I'm eager to join the couchsurfing family.

Interests

Daydreaming, traveling (obviously), reading, watching movies, chatting, chilling, talking with different kind of people. I love furniture, especially retro-style one. Oh, and I like writing things down, always have my notebook with me. Interest in art, but have rare knowledge about it. Love love love sun-bathing and outdoor activities, like mountain climbing and kayaking (so far I just tried it once). Skateboard but not professional... This one is important, I'm passionate about branding.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think everything is quite amazing. Don't have an exact answer for this.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Chinese if you're interested in it. Since i'm studying branding, if you fancy to know more about branding, we can brainstorm together and come up with interesting ideas., teamwork is always the best!! Willing to learn anythingg, but I have the worst memory, so please don't be frustrated with the results... haha. Share time together, share ideas and thoughts, what else can we share...don't know...Ummm, I guess that's what I can come up with right now.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good time, definitely good time! Not sure if my travel stories good enough to tell since everyone here seems to have great stories. Yet, I like to observe the difference between western and eastern culture and have some thoughts about that (if that's not too boring...). I'm easy going and i'm always interest in anything, so I guess that makes me a good company ;) I'm not the best cook but I can cook some Chinese dishes. I'm a good listener and I like to talk too, I know how to respect people and I'm tidy, so above all I'll say I'm a good company, a lovely friend to spent time with!
