Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

through a host when I live in Belgium he hosted me one night to prove it is safe and fun to travel in this way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As I had so much wonderful experience with CS during my trip in Europe,I thank so much of my hosts for their offering and the good time. Now I would like to do the same to my guests who visit Beijing. Until now, I have hosted 3 guests in Beijing, and they are all awesome guests, I was really glad to know them. I like CS because most of the time I travel alone, It is always nice to have a company or have some connection with local people , but the ones meet on street are not always can have fun with or do not have similar interests. The hotels are similar everywhere ,but guests and hosts are always different, and it makes staying in that city more impressive.

Interests

To know something I am curious about .I like to try new things ,talking with interesting people,reading books, doing yoga and Arabic dance,swimming,biking,painting,karaoke,playing flute after work...I can cook chinese dish pretty well.
and I like my job also I always learning something new in my free time.
and I would like to know something different through you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled in Europe and most of minorities in China. The party in Ghent city which called"pole pole" in summer is the best party I have ever went. I stayed in a Belgian host family for a year, and two years after I went back to visit them , the baby of the family already can talk , she kiss and hug me so much.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to share ideas ,laughs and good time. Feel free and enjoy life. I am a fan of Arabic dance, I want to learn from the people who can dance salsa,flamenco,Latin or any kinds of dance or just rock in pubs. I can teach playing flute, belly dance,first aid ,cooking ,at least teaching Chinese ,haha
