About Me

Hi, so nice to see you, I am an interesting person who love travelling, cooking, reading and exercising, I am easy-going, open-minded and have passion and enthusiasm in life, I love challenges, that is what makes me change and reflect about life, volunteer and community work are also my favorite, Now I have just graduated, I hope I can travel around the world and also I would like to try working holidays when I finish my study stuff, so I hope to see you and share my experiences with you.

I have a little dream after being "homeless" for a long time. I wanna have my own little room with flowers and loads of books. Life couldn't be better with that.
I love books&cafe bars in each city. That make me a sense of belongings.

I wanna say life is beautiful if you have beautiful mind to see it. Whatever happens, the future still remains.
I used to struggle with many things unfair. But now I accept the truth and keep chasing for beautiful things I love.
I love flowers love people and love to be loved.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to join this big travelling family, where there are joys, stories, tears and laughter, and also I want to find a place feel like home when I am far away home, that is what hotel can not provide, I love meeting students and families and probably cook or share our stories, that is the most precious moment.

Oh my god, I love you guys!
May be with not much money, but a passionate, brave and simple heart.

I think the simplicity of life is being yourself, I never fear failure and challenges, because a problem is a chance for you to do your best.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First thing was sleep outside in winter with my volunteer colleges group to experience the homeless people's feeling , that was so so so so chilly almost frozen but it is a kind of way exchanging feeling and it taught me how to treasure my current life and help the homeless people.

Second is I want to be a street performer to raise fund for my travelling dream and for the charity donation, because I love singing and dancing but never did it, I hope one day I can bravely achieve it

Third one is going to Africa , Gambia for the volunteer work helping the local community, children with livelihood, well being and education, a really nice tiny country to come, I hope more people can join the significant volunteer work to make the world better and full of love

Fourth one is sleeping with refugees from Romania at Stockholm in Sweden, I can never forget that amazing night spent with them, which let me know how their life is and how happy and grateful they are even though they are in poor condition, in order to catch the early ship to Finland, I slept in the main train station and then I was driven out to McDonald's until 1am and again I was driven out to the street at 4am, during that time, I met lots of ' midnight people', that is meaningful for me to gratitude life and respect others.

Fifth one made me so so excited was I once joined a band and sang a song on the bridge in the downtown center, As I was dreaming of being a street singer someday but lack of courage, I was so lucky to meet them and by the way achieve my dream, thank you so much for bringing such beautiful song to the world.

Sixth one is that I spent 2 months hard times to lose weight till I satisfied but at the end I spent 3days to get my weight back, so amazing but no regret.

Seventh one is I traveled alone for two month in Europe for 20 countries and one month in China for more than 15 cities, so unforgettable and amazing to meet those friends that I never wanna say goodbye

There are so many things that are worth to share, I hope you can enjoy them, thank you!

I think volunteer work never paid not because it is worthless but because it is priceless

Do whatever makes u happy, maybe I begin with zero but I will be my own hero, the greater the struggle, the more glorious the triumph

May there be a lot of clouds in your life to make beautiful sunset

I wanna be a rainbow on someone else's cloud.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach singing, dancing Zumba, Salsa, Flaminco, Jazz, Samba and modern dance, I love music and always dance in my room on my own with beautiful music, haha I think that is quite funny.

Also, I am a cooking lover, I can share my cuisine and funny cooking stories, at the same time, I can share my volunteer experience.

I want to learn different culture and staying with various hospitable people and feel like home, I come to your home or you come to my home.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my interesting travel experiences and my hobbies such as cooking, singing and dancing, creative idea and passions for life, this is who I am.
I love life, wherever I go, I believe there is a dream for me and no one ever drowned in sweat.

There are something need to know to make me safe, I am a clean and respectful person, I strongly refuse to do sex, it is extremely disrespectful. I can take my little gift for you and share my stories and beautiful smiles with you and I can cook or help you do clean the room or do gardening work, I believe couchsurfing is based on trust, sharing and friendship, that is my little wish, I hope not to bother you and make you disappointed, thanks.
