CURRENT MISSION

travel in USA for a year during my exchange time studying here.I'm eager to travel around CA,the eastern part of USA and other excting cities.

ABOUT ME

I'm a student of Renmin University of China,majoring in international relations.Luckily and excitingly,I got an oppotunity to study abroad for a year,this is why I am in University of California,Davis right now.I am sharing an appartment with 5 guys off campus.I'm easygoing and really love traveling and making friends especially from different places. I dream to travel around USA in this year,especially in some excting cities like San Fransisco,LA,New York,DC and even some interesting towns. Besides, I love the nature and national park like YOSEMITE and YEllowStone, Great Canyon really appeal to me!

PHILOSOPHY

Trying anything new.I love taking challenges and exploring new things that I'm not farmiliar with although I may not good at it. This is why I made the decision to study abroad in USA for a year and why I wnat to try couchsurfing. In the past two months that I have already spent in USA,I try many things new that I hope to do one day, such as backpackaging to Lake Tahoe with friends,Snowshoeing in Yosemite national Park, Staying overnight in the wild. And I also hope riding a horse in the field, rafting, rock climbing and other exciting but unknown activities.
I'm optimistic and believe that experience can make a man a real man.But I'm the one that can do everything all by myself.Luckily I can always have friends that can help me handle it and I really learn a lot from them. I'm always trying to improve myself,learn more skills from kinds of experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My friends recommend couchsurfing to me and after I learn more about couchsurfing, I know that this is exactly what I want to try. I surfed in Washington DC and Boston. They are really nice people and we had lots of fun together.

I love travelling,I have been to many cities in China either by myself or with friends.This is an important part of my college life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Backstreet boys, Westlife and Taylor Swift,whose songs make me calm sometimes and inspire me to cheer up when I am down.I love acappella too because I think it is kind of special art that make full use of man's voice.That's the real mankind music taht always shocks me. And of course I love many Chinese songs, especially those with Chinese cultural elements.

I saw different types of movies, Chines, Indian, Japan, American. I love those movies with marvelous organizations and thought-provoking philosophy,which give you either life wisdom or shocking surprise. My favorate is "Butterfly effect"“the Shawshank redemption”.
Books.I'm interested in books about culture.Chinese ancient culture, western religion, European history of culture and myth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It must be staying overnight in the tent.
I went to YOSEMITE National Park for snowshoe there.I love the winter scinery there but it is freezing cold in night when we spend the time in the tent,talking with friends that we just met in the team till the dawn.Man and Wild,6 people, no comfortable bed, no warm room,but we spend a really wonderful night together in the real nature.
Of course,I hope that couchsurfing in an unfarmiliar place will be another amazing thing in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm from China,so I know Chinese culture.I speak Chinese,both Madarin which is the official language in China, and also Cantanese because my hometown is exactly in Canton.
I hope to get involve with people here in USA and know more about American culture, everything about their food culture,holidays,lifestyle,religion and belief and what do they know about my country.
I am really willing to share with you.
