Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I hosted some ppl with the empty bunk bed in my university dorm. later I host intensively while I was living in Shanghai for 3 years and also organized one major Couchsurfing events in the year 2013 COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE you can see from my profile and my reference that I am now kind of a veteran couch-surfer now because I have been doing it for almost 10 years now:) both hosted and surfed a lot in almost all the countries that I have visited so far. I met some of the most amazing people in my life from CS. I love this community because of the amazing/inspiring people that I came across here.
Music, Movies, and Books
Books: I started to read a lot more due to covid. Reading is both meditative, powerful and liberating. Music: Pretty much into any genre, I like quite a broad range of music as I love to keep exploring new stuff. I will be really happy if you introduce me to something new! I play Ukulele and want to learn piano. Movies: lately, I am into anything to do with time-traveling
One Amazing Thing I've Done
1：I learned Scuba diving in 2017 in the red sea before I know how to swim properly and it opened me to the world underwater. Ever since I got addicted to learning new water sports and over the years I learned surfing, windsurfing, and SUP, now I am a newbie kitesurfer and a free diver. 2：Setting up my own business and becoming location-free
Teach, Learn, Share
Any skill I have that fits your interest, I will be happy to teach and share.
What I Can Share With Hosts
1. I am always happy to introduce/discuss anything and share knowledge. 2. I can definitely cook you a Chinese meal.
My Interests
I like everything that makes me move my body, walking, running, biking, camping, climbing, hiking, free diving, windsurfing... I am into all kinds of tea, fruits and veggies, herbs, and aromatherapy. I like to stay healthy and take care of myself. We all need philosophy. I like Taoism and stoicism, both east and western philosophy. It taught me many important things about life and myself. Exploring psychedelics was eye-opening
