About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting with new opportunities

ABOUT ME

An international student in University of Illinois, and also a traveler. I'm always open-minded to explore the unknown and trying to manage things that people are usually planning to do. It requires me to be passionate and enthusiastic continuously, and of course, I'm surely that kind of person! For this reason, I'm sometimes be called HOTHEADED which is a typical personality for Aries People. However, I regard it pretty worthy to try and do something interesting when we're young and dare to think.

It's highly welcomed that you can "surf" at my place. I'm also willing to hang out with people.

PHILOSOPHY

Be myself to explore the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Friends recommend this to me before my trip to Europe. I found this so FASCINATING to meet people with different backgrounds and understanding of the world!
Now, the trip ended two years ago, and I am willing to become the one to host people and contribute more to this great site.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When traveling in Europe in the summer of 2011, I was hosted by Adriana in Nice and Andro in Madrid. These can be regarded as my first ever experiences in CS which I appreciate so much!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experience it in AIESEC. I can help a foreign student to find a job in Shanghai and then pick him/her up at the airport. I'll help those guys find the house to rent and buy everything they need to live in China for several months or even for several years! It's truly amazing and fantastic to meet so many new friends in this smaller world!
