ABOUT ME
I've been traveling for 8 years now and still going strong, I know I'm going slow but I am enjoying it a lot.

I don't drink or do drugs BUT in my travels, I met so many great party people and I don't against it. And I PARTY! Good music and good people are my alcohol and drugs, I love dance!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't worry and be happy!
Never forget what I want to do and where I want to go( Even I'm the goldfish, LOL)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to come to your place find secret spots, see local markets, people-watch, eat crazy strange food, do some fitness, and have great conversations with you!!!!!

Oooooh I also want to see a second-hand clothes shop. I'm kinda on budget so is the best place for me to find something cool. But haven't really done it for a while since I stopped doing check-in luggage since 1.5years ago. So I will do it when I really need something.

Interests

I love traveling!!! nothing else...
LOL, just kidding. I love a bunch of things, music, dance(not good at salsa doesn't matter how hard I tried, even tried it in Cali but still the same as new), workout, food, and exploring.

And Rafting

Also, I like writing but am not good at it. It's ok, at least I'm getting better...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a cargo bot into the Amazon city - Iquitos

Spent my 28 years old birthday in the amazon jungle in Peru (BBQ and learned how to build a tenet with natural materials. That night we saw monkeys were jumping around from tree to tree and also heard Jaguar's roaring )

Ice bathing on the top of the mountain in Huaraz and almost drowned myself because of the cold.

Tried a lot of water sports but don't really know how to swim (childhood trauma, still healing)

Tried Kambo and Ayahuasca.

Hiked up Acatenango 2 times.

Traveling the South Island in NZ with my camping van for around 4 months did a lot of hikes and most of them were at night time, lol!!! Scary but amazing!

Camping in HK for 7 days at the beach when I was 19, met a lot of people and that's trip turned my traveler mode on.

I traveled alone in Thailand for 21days (I only took around 300 dollars with me)in 2013, an unforgettable trip in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe I can teach you how to move your ears, a few Chinese sentences (including bad words), and Some funny old-school dance moves~

I want to learn about your weirdest wildest adventure!!!!

I will share my crazy adventure and my recipe for WORLDS BEST BANANA BREAD OR MOST CLASSIC CHINESE DISH 🏆

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good laugh, share my culture, languages, and experience.

workout, diets, and all sorts of topics (I'm considering I'm an open-minded person who is open to talk all kind of topic without judge)

Have volunteered in the Netherlands, South Korea, Mexico, Panama, and Peru. have experience working in the hospitality industry, therefore it helps me to know how to keep the place tidy and also how to respect others' space.

I worked in couple drink shops( bubble tea shop in Paris and coffee shops in Shenzhen/Haikou ,China)in the last 5years then I can make some good drinks.

And I can take pictures for u!!!!!
