About Me

As a Study Advisor(I bet you've never seen this job title before, xD) , I help my students with acquiring a new language, mostly English or Chinese. Open-minded , love to experience new things.
I have quite a few foreign friends in China , and somehow they motivated me . Why should I stick myself in just one place , and long to see more about the world but never make a move ? Among those friends ,there are Ian Usher and Vanessa , great adventurers . They just left the city where I live and having a trip around China now . His experiences and talks were really inspiring . So ,here I am , about to have my first trip ~~ ready to be impressed by the beauty of this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always wanted to see more about this world, but made too many excuses for myself.
Busy working,
not enough money,
with families around....
It was in August 2015 when I had a surgery on my intestine (a small tumour), then I realized that I SHOULD get started.
Life can be tedious , or full of adventures. It depends on myself.
So, here I am , about to quit my job and take the 1st trip abroad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding continuously for around 60 KM in 3 hours , including uphill.
Riding regularly.
Been listening to audio books every day,for 4 years . I love Jim Dale.
Used about 3 years to change my accent from American to British . Most of the English things we hear in China are American accent, so I got an American accent at first . It was after I finished the whole series of Harry Potter when I was able to tell the difference between American and British. I just prefer British, then I ....changed intentionally.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach Chinese people English.
Teach people from other countries Chinese.
Learning Cantonese and Japanese.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Chinese culture , music , food (I can cook some traditional dishes), history.
