ABOUT ME

I am crazy about comics, movies, and traveling. Deep in my heart I am a laid-back comedian, though it is hard to tell from the first impression. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Why Not Have Fun

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was an exchange student to Sweden, I traveled around Europe through couchsurfing. Now it is my turn to give back.

Interests

1. Collecting Postcards
I am just a beginner with postcards from 70 countries. So far I have received postcards from CSers in Afghanistan, Israel, Madagascar, Peru and Antarctica. It would be a great pleasure to receive PCs from CSers all over the world, especially those about different cultures. :D

2. Green Activism
I have been a volunteer translator for an environmental protection website for 2 years. http://www.chinadialogue.net/ is a bilingual website enabling people around the world to discuss China's environmental challenges and solutions. All comments will be translated into English or Chinese so don't worry about the language. You are definitely welcome!

3. Graphic Design
Anything ranging from painting to photography. I do not have any professional training in this field but I have been trying different stuff for a long time. Here is a short movie by myself, check it out!http://v.ku6.com/show/ZTYQTfVWiCSUYTUF.html

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

once traveled alone to the most northern railway station on earth (Narvik, Norway). It was really amazing for it is beyond the arctic circle!

Teach, Learn, Share

Cultures & Individuals
I am a keen listener to people's life stories, learning more about their culture and society. So far I have made many friends from the other side of the planet thanks to Couchsurfing. It breaks all the stereotypes and it is really a life-changing experience for me.
