My name is Lisa Liao, and I am a very peaceful person, not too fond of intense emotions. I like to think about philosophical issues, and analysing various social and personal phenomena is something I do quietly every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfers Community is a very interesting group, and by communicating with Couchsurfers from all over the world, we can make the world cultures more integrated, and make people from all over the world aware of each other. The world is not about politicians´ one, it is about ordinary people who truly live in this world. I would like to open my heart and communicate with people from all over the world to promote a harmonious and beautiful world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Unless I'm travelling, I practice piano almost every day. It's something I'm very proud of, and it's fascinating to witness myself go from newcomer to veteran, from being a stranger to the keys to being familiar with them, and I also witness myself trying to persevere. Also, I feel very happy every time I play the piano.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching:
Language:
If you are interested in Chinese, I would love to be your Chinese teacher. You will learn a lot of useful daily phrases.
Music:
If you are very interested in piano, I would be happy to teach you the beginner's part of music, including piano touch, pentatonic scores and so on.

Learning:
I am a very good learner and I am happy to learn anything, even some religions and cultures.

Sharing:
I can play some piano pieces for you, especially typical Chinese pieces - Oriental Romeo and Juliet, Colourful Clouds Chasing the Moon.
I can share all kinds of Chinese culture and help couchsurfers to travel in China.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some traditional gifts from China with the host and cook a delicious Chinese meal for the host, introduce traditional Chinese festivals and some traditional stories, such as why the Chinese love the colour red and why the Chinese call ¨Nian¨ as year. I can also introduce the geography of China and the wedding customs of each province and so on. I can share everything that any host wants to know about China.
