Sorry for the low reply rate since I don't reply to any copy-and-paste messages :)

I am working in a FMCG company in beer industry as sales supervisor/ manager. I graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Finance and Johns Hopkins University in Marketing, well this looks like a CV🤣

I love traveling so much that I usually spend a long time in one area. I used to stay with hosts from various backgrounds and social groups, and luckily they are all nice persons. With the experience as a surfer, I truly understand the needs and expectations of those who looking for a place to stay and someone to hangout with. Besides I hosted some travelers when I was in shanghai and being guide for them, which enables me to explore more about this site.

I am a kinda interesting person I guess, I know how to cook, photography, badminton, Irish instrument and also, I can fly an ✈️ as I am a certificated FAA private pilot license holder.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I got to know CS through a travel magazine I read when I was in middle school, I was full of interest in going around the world at that time but I lacked of money, the books were the only way for me to explore. In the article, the author described his experience with CS when traveling around Europe, and I was so curious about this site as it opened a totally different world for me.

My first opportunity with CS happened when I was in UK for a one-month trip myself, when I was in college in 2013, when I was around 20. I stayed with 2 hosts in London and 1 host in Dover. Despite the various backgrounds and personalities, they were all nice persons and we shared a truly wonderful time together.

Later on, spending time and traveling with whether a German girl, a Dutch young man or a Turkish lady were full of joy and excitement, and I also host some guests when I was in Shanghai. CS has brought a lot of fun to my life.

Interests

Photography:
I have been taking photos for around 6 years, though still a noob, I still truly enjoy the feeling of creation a picture that fits my inner thoughts, especially landscape photography. And also I have shoot a travel documentary for Ireland.

Badminton:
Badminton is something I have been keeping doing to relax and ensure my health, of course it's like a national sport, with table tennis.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a wide range of music, from Irish traditional music to EDM, from R&B to Jazz. I love BLUE most, though I don't really believe their songs are fascinating, but I guess that's more like an emotional link.

I have no idea what movies or books I like the most hhhha, so let's talk about it later.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been skydiving from an airplane several times in Australia and the States

I traveled alone in Australia for half month when I was 14, and I knew no body there before I arrived

I have got my pilot license in 4 months, and I was just a part-time student because I will need to attend class for my master
