CURRENT MISSION

Realizing my dreams - to be finish my MA, to meet amazing people, to travel around places and expose to different cultures.

ABOUT ME

Curious, optimistic, empathetic, dare to dream and a little bit adventurous. I love to try new things, but sadly none of them became my expertise. I enjoy travelling, which I regard as a life-time hobby. I was so grateful my parents brought me to different places when I was young, and that helps me realize that the world I am living in is so big and full of amazing things to see. I also love reading, watching movies, listening to music, taking pictures, etc. I like water sports, e.g. swimming and scuba diving. I'd love to meet different people, engage in some inspiring conversations, however I also enjoy idling and spending some time alone.

PHILOSOPHY

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." (from Le Petite Prince)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To try surfing first and be a good surfer. I am looking forward to have a place of my own then I could host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Those CSers I met really make a difference to my trip! Travelling is always nice, but the people really matter. I really appreciate their kind hospitality. And if I have my place one day, I will definitely try to host.
