ABOUT ME
Young, energetic and love to be called a self-made man as I have a small business of my own.I am very lucky as I am surrounded with good people. Confucius used to say that a great leader always surrounded himself with great people. This is why I love CS and I am never tired of traveling because I get to meet wonderful friends all over the world.
I speak good English and I am very proud of China and my own culture. People always tell me China has a lot of issues but I believe things have gotten a lot better since Mao's revolution. China is developing in its warp speed and I have great faith in her future.
I am crazy about good food. I spent two days in Hanoi just to try all the wonderful street food. Everywhere I travel I would leave some special time for the local cuisines. Good food, like good alcohol ( I love belguim beer!) are all made with ppl's devotion to the love of life, and appreciation makes them taste even better.!
I haven't got the time to travel around the world too much but certainly I have gained wonderful stories along the way. I intend to do a lot more traveling in the next few years.
I enjoy playing basketball, swimming and cycling.
I strongly believe in serendipity as people are brought together for good reasons. I hope my appearance in your life can bring you a nice surprise.
PHILOSOPHY
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Work to live don't live to work.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
The regular stuff.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted and surfed. CS also helped me finding so many wonderful friends especially when I first moved to Nanjing after working in Xiamen for 2.5 years. Thanks to them moving to a strange new city was much easier than I thought. The best experience I had so far was that I found the coolest roommate ever through CS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I won an English contest which got me the chance to visit London for free when I was 17. I have started my own business. I met a French girl on a bus in Vietnam and she knows a friend of mine back in Xiamen where I used to work! We became very good friend after, cheers to serendipity and randomness of life!
Teach, Learn, Share
It's funny that I think a lot of people are in the school of hard knocks. At least I am still here. But through the hardest time in my life so far I have seen the most courage and strength brought to my life by my family and friends. The good people I met along the way taught me great deals in life.
