About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Excel in emerging creativity and business to provide innovative consulting solutions to start ups, innovative teams of big companies and social enterprises.

ABOUT ME

An open minded, big heart girl who's seen the world a bit, and the world helped me found myself.
I started my trip because of the famous Latin "Carpe Diem" and the well-known "Walden Lake" quote :"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. "

So then, i took one year off and just traveling.
I seriously felt that once you started, you never gonna stop.

I used to work in PR and Marketing and freelancing in business consulting
I had little entrepreneur experiences too.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay true to yourself, that's only what matters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently live in NY make me very busy, and i couldn't really host because i have roommates.
But i'm always open to show people around if I'm available.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Start my couch surfing experience in sydney, and meet all the cool people ,and was taken by them to very extraordinary places. Really good way to exchange culture and ideas, get inspired by people you may never meet in an everyday life.
And i believe we meet each other not only by chance. Each single person appearing in our life, is a gift to us, so I'd love to give my gifts to all these people i meet too.
