CURRENT MISSION

countryside hospitality & ecotourism community development

ABOUT ME

I enjoy making new friendships especially with those coming from different ethnics & cultural backgrounds.
Now I finally put some time to update my profile also after 2months joining CS..kinda better-late-then-never option, even I'd prefer to meet up personal with some people in getting to know them better I guess this may be helpful for other CSers ;-) myself being extrovert normally can mingle easily with strangers..I'm happy to simply provide information they eventually need & I'd always be interested in sharing our experiences in traveling, job, life, hobbies whatever in opening our minds. So far I've been blessed in having so many outside-CS friends across all ages whom mostly I'm much adapted with, hence why I kept quite busy in mobile networking & exploring more ideas etc ;-)
During my past jobs & activities in organizations yet I learned such wonderful relationships are created & sustained through mutual peace, universal love and social responsibility..which I hope CS would promote and take a bigger part.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that we all have an each predetermined Life Calling by God our creator..through which then manifests in such personalized Vision & Mission to carry on earth & beyond. Let our given talents & gifts be always natural blessings for our 'less caring' pluralistic generation..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I welcome my friends in CS hosting & meeting since this quite an enriching program & excellent opportunity to give more to each other, while CS gathering & events should be often organized & supported in more local communities to promote the spirit of CS worldwide.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Silkroad..my 9000km plus three weeks exotic journey through China has left a lasting memory with its past centuries old history, vibrant traditional customs in East and Central Asia's blended sociocultural life between now & then..extreme diversity I find to a similar extent with Indonesia's vast archipelago by the way in fact both were once linked by ancient trade.
Recalling the warm hospitality in Urumqi (Xin Jiang) back in 2007 I never thought the mid 2009 riots could happen at all & set about to change their future :-(

Teach, Learn, Share
