Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My curiosity of knowing varied people from all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first surfing experience was at a small village in Germany. It wasn't a planned courchsurfing, but I missed my last train back home at a freezing night,and all hotels at the town were closed. It was a Kebab store owner who finally save me from helplessness.So I am willing to provide a helping hand if there are someone else suffered a situation like I had that time.

Hosting: Several times by now and all went good. Only it seems I have less time to do it in this year(heavily engaged in my work for a special project, I am sorry for my low response rate:P). But let me know if you really need a last minute couch, I will do my best!

Interests

Well, too much. But in general i like to talk to people. Listening to their stories remind me how big the world is and only I should do is to keep exploring.

  • partying
  • traveling
  • surfing

Music, Movies, and Books

uhmm... I enjoyed different types of music, but just can not stay in a punk environment for too long.
Favorite movies:Thelma & Louise(1991) Into the wild(2007)
Favorite writer:Murakami Haruki, Stefan Zweig, Emily Dickinson, J.K.Rowling...a lot:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most recent one, I stood on a viking line deck from Stockholm to Helsinki.The temperature was about -20 degree and there's only me on the deck. The whole Stockholm was surrounded by snow, and the beautiful night view made me even forget cold. I shouted loudly goodbye to Sweden and at that moment have a bit feeling that I am the king of the world XD

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't think I am good enough to teach people something, but work as a purchaser maybe i can tell you the tricks to negotiate the price down? Especially in the electronic industry;)

For learning, Please teach me anything you know! knowledge is always useful but just sometimes you don't know when will you use it. So prepare as much as I can in advance!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, China, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden

Countries I’ve Lived In
