ABOUT ME

A happy person who thinks life is so cool.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is beautiful - that is what I always say.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Two thumbs up!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To me, one of the best thing about traveling is meeting many nice and kind people, feel the good of human kind and become to a better person. I did meet many cool people through couch surfing, I love it. However, I am also getting more and more "copy & paste" requests. I do not want to spend time on people who even have no time to read through my profile. I do care about who I am going to stay with at my lovely home.

Interests

I love classic music. When I play music on piano or cello, my heart is full of happiness.

I do love to be a product designer, I like to find problems and solve them.

I love drawing, painting and many kinds of illustrations. I like to be creative, hand crafting makes me feel happy.

I love cooking and baking very much =) Cook a good meal for my friend and myself is one of the best thing to me. There are always new recipes I would like to try.

I like walking in city and country, enjoy beautiful views. Sometimes I go with my camera, sometimes I memorize them in my mind.

I like to read a book before go to sleep, or watching a movie if I am not too tired. I always have classic music when I am driving. I like to go to concert with my pupils.

I do my best to help people & animals. I look after dogs & cats for my friends during their holidays, I am also a member of the HOPE project of the Auckland SPCA.

I like communication, chatting with people and listening everyone's stories.
