About Me

CURRENT MISSION

living in the moment

ABOUT ME

From the outside I appear to be a quiet girl but I always like to seek adventures and make the most out of this life. I like outdoor sports such as hiking and rock climbing. Traveling around, especially traveling by myself, has been the best adventure I enjoy so far. By stepping outside the comfort zone and exploring the world I learn the limit of myself, meet so many interesting and kind people from different cultures and become friends with them.

PHILOSOPHY

If you go away far enough then you are on the way home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and make new friends, look for new inspiration and good conversation.

Interests

Traveling has always been my biggest hobby. Recently I have been thinking about how to combine travel with working/living.

Besides, I like to read (comics, fictions, philosophy), watch movies and listen to music. If I have enough motivation, I will try to pick up new languages, and do yoga.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I swam in the ocean at night I saw blue lights dancing in the water. It's pretty amazing. Later I found out it was caused by the micro chemical organisms ( can't remember the name) living in the ocean.
