I am outgoing and love to experience new things. I like to make new friends, chat with them, know their characters and cultures, and eventually realize who I am, what I like, and how I am as a person. Even though some of my friends said that I'm the most energetic guy they've ever met or I'm overly energetic, but I'm sometimes quiet and want to have my own space, especially when I am exhausted. Strange as I am, no matter how tired I was before, I sometimes feel super energetic when chatting with people I find interesting. So, let's see how we go ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had had my exchange study in Linköping, Sweden for 5 months ('17~'18). During this precious period, I had travelled around Europe to see the world myself. Without CS, I couldn't make it for sure. Couchsurfing is an excellent way to meet locals, learn more about the city, and build your own unique and authentic travelling experience. At the same time, I can have a glimpse at the way of living, the philosophy of life and the way the house decorated from the host to find the life I want to live. This is something I realized during my visit to Poland in Sep 2017, which was the first backpacking, Couchsurfing and solo travelling experience for me. I didn't know traveling and Couchsurfing can be so powerful, meaningful and life-changing. Can't wait to learn more about life from traveling, Couchsurfing and new friends like you :))

Teach, Learn, Share

-The end is closer than you think; the youth is farther than you imagine. ~Karina's granny
-Never let time dictator our energy, youth and life. ~Tyshka
-Every time you pass an hour eating a meal in the company of good friends - you steal an hour from death. ~Greek proverb, learned from Lisbeth

I don't know what I can teach, but maybe we'll both get some inspiration of anything during our interaction.
I want to learn more about the city, the host, cultures & languages and the stories of host for sure.
I can share with you my story, culture, languages and everything I know :)
