About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To spend my time on meaningful things. To be myself.

ABOUT ME

Hello, everyone. It's not easy, but I'll try to introduce myself in words. I laugh a lot, enjoying meet new friends. Be free to talk me anytime. I can listen someone sharing his/her life. I always enjoying learn new things. On the other side, I am timid. Well...I think the best way to realize me is to know me personally,haha...

PHILOSOPHY

I love doing something good for this world. Life goes on. Love goes on,too. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I happened to see one article, sharing about her travel experience. It was a wonderful experience. She mentioned CS in her article. So, I tried to search CouchSurfing on the Internet,which is such a nice and warm place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had wonderful CouchSurfing experience in Czech Republic and Singapore. It was awesome!! We became best friends since then.

I haven't host somebody,yet. I would love to do it someday.

Interests

Always enjoy being with friends. I love movies,especially old movies. Fine arts,like film,drama,painting and photography. Making friends and learning languages. For me,learning a new language is learning a whole new culture. Books are very important to me. Go jogging and learning swimming. Photographing recently. Enjoy doing volunteer work, collecting postcards. Play with dogs and kids. Or, be played by kids.
