About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Istanbul!

ABOUT ME

I'm closedminded, difficultgoing and proud of it!

For me wandering in a new city is the best way of travel. And couchsurfing in one city makes me feel that I really live there. It gives me a chance to know the real way of life in a new place. I've hosted some people when I was studying abroad in Tarragona. Now I'm trying to prove to my roommate that we can still trust people in these days, so I'm back at couchsurfing. So if I host you please don't rob us, in return I promise we won't kill you and sell your organs.

PHILOSOPHY

serendipity

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was hosted by a guy in Madrid, that's my first CS experience but actually we didn't meet on CS. We barely knew each other but he treated me like an old friend and trusted me a lot. From then I always want to help other CSers too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Woke up at 3 a.m. suddenly, looked out from the window and saw a falling star shooting across the sky.

Human tower in Tarragona.

Berlin. I just love Berlin. Don't need a reason.

Teach, Learn, Share

Chinese, cooking Chinese food, bad jokes, ukulele, making rubber stamps, a little about palm reading...anything I know.

I'm ready to learn everything. My grandpa calls me "Jack of all trades" because I know a little bit of everything. So you can teach me whatever you know.
