About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carpe diem

ABOUT ME

It's not easy to describe myself or personality in several words. If I really have to describe a little bit about myself,I'll say that I'm a curious, friendly and open-minded person. I'm a little bit eccentric and shy as I get to know someone I'm not familiar with, but it changes as you get to know me. For me, traveling is a way to comprehend this world,and I find I gradually fall in love with it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I know it from a friend. And this idea is fantastic. It makes people from all over the world get closer and closer. It's also a way to know different cultures and thinking. I do believe as people know more about these "differences", people will have a better perception of what's unique in their own cultures and respect to others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I always depend on strangers' kindness as I travel. So I'd love to help travelers or backpackers and give them some helpful suggestion. That's what I can do to those who help me out of troubles when I travel.

Interests

I'm addicted to indie music,films,art,museums, photography and subculture. As I travel,I'm always eager to explore these alternative and unique culture scenes in the city.
