*** CURRENT MISSION ***

Finished Gap Year. Starting New Life.

*** ABOUT ME ***

I really like to travel and meet different people so that I could know a little bit more about the world and people every time when I meet someone.

I just graduated and work as a product manager at Tencent, a giant IT company in China. Before I was remained economically independently for many years during my Bachelor and Master student time, so luckily I could and can try something interesting that I want to know. But I always try low-cost airlines/trains and budget accommodation.

I had a gap-year before in 2013. I've completed my Divemaster course, and since then I've dived in many places in South East Asia and Red Sea. Also, I went Netherlands to take a florist apprenticeship as floral design is one of my serious hobbies. Hitch-hiking experience from Beijing to Macau, Vipassana meditation 10-day course in Cambodia, couch-surfing in several friends' places made my journey meaningful. Fortunately I was invited as a TEDx speaker and a guest in a travel related TV program.

As my friend talk about me, I am really an 'interesting' and crazy person.

Before, I was a Computer Science student with long time experience of web designing and programming (then I switched my intention to product design and management after graduation), but I also 'minor' in floral design and scuba diving. I got an opportunity to make button-hole decorations for Jackie Chen before.

I also play piano, a little bit of guitar, Chinese gourd flute and I like to dance Cuban Salsa, though I am a beginner. I do photography but I broke my friend's expensive camera lens. ;)

I am someone with strong willing to try anything. I find myself more and more open-minded along the way traveling in different places as well as trying different hobbies and skills.

Sometimes, when I meet somebody that is not talkative (I am not so talkative too), I always have a strong feeling : "this guy must has some very amazing experience inside." :D So I don't like to tell anyone from his/her appearance.

As a way that you could know me more, I uploaded some pictures of my floral design works and sea creatures underwater. Go to my album and enjoy :D (Yes, I have much much more interesting and astonishing picture in my laptop)

*** PHILOSOPHY ***

And lost be the day to us in which a measure hath not been danced. by Nietzsche
每一个不曾起舞的日子都是对生命的辜负 by 尼采

That is the last tweet of one of my female friend who died in a bus crash in Mauritius as then a vice president of AIESEC in the country. Her last words encourage me all the time to appreciate every day.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I started to try Couch-surfing during my gap-year.

* 2013/3, Sieger in Sneek, Netherlands was the first CS friend who I met
* 2013/4, Benoît in Zhuhai, China was the first CS host who gave me a place to stay
* 2013/5, Cece in Pattaya, Thailand was the most unforgettable host who I regarded as a soul-mate since then.
* 2013/6, A hotel boss in Sihanoukville, Cambodia was the first host who wasn't in CS but provided me a couch during a mid-night when I walked in without finding other places to stay.

and

* 2015/9, Marria and Denis from Moscow, Ruassia were the first CS surfers that I host in Shenzhen, China!

The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama

Algo increíble que he hecho

After I met a Russian CS couple who hitch-hiked from Moscow to Shenzhen along with dozens of thousands of kilometers, I don't think my hitch-hiking experience from Beijing to Macau of 3,000km would amaze you and myself anymore ;(
