About Me

I am Chinese. I probably need to cut my hair. I like to be outside running around. If I'm in doors, then I'm probably cooking or watching anime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me, life is about exploration. I think travelers are the people who want to live their life to the fullest. The people who do the most interesting and crazy things that I want to hear about and also do!
I think that traveling somewhere and meeting the people there makes the experience so much more memorable. I want to Couchsurf to explore what its like living in someone else's shoes. I also want to share my home to travelers because I think this is great.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped off a 5 meter waterfall. Was scared shitless. Proceeded to Jump off 10m waterfall. Thought I was going to die. Then jumped off 20m waterfall. I might actually die. Jumps off 50m Waterfall twice. Wow, I survived.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know some Japanese and Mandarin and can teach if you want to learn! Also like to play Chinese Chess, and I want to play Shogi (I'm a beginner). I know some basic mechanical engineering, Computer Science, college math/physics. I want to learn more about the Ocean (ocean exploration) and international development work.
