About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my working holiday in Australia and New Zealand in 2017-2018!

ABOUT ME

I am extrovert,easy-going person.I like to meet different people with different cultrual background .Now I have traveled some places in the world, including Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Turkey, Russia, USA and Japan. And now I have got the working holiday visas and plan my chilling gap years to Australia and New Zealand ! I believe that I can seek more life possibilities and be more open-minded to embrace the wonderful world.
I have been hosted in Shanghai, during World Exposition,2010. I always appreciate the hospitality that the warm-hearted people give me. And in return, I have showed two foreign friends around my hometown and take them enjoy the proper Teochew cuisine.It is a very fabulous experience because through couchsurfing, we can better understand different culture and share many brilliant points and views! It is awesome!
I am expected the next surfing experience and I am glad to host people around the world after my fantastic journey in Australia and New Zealand.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is far less than perfect,but we can make it become better.So try my best to warm the heart of people in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I suffer from the Acrophobia. And when I travelled in ChiangMai, Thailand. My friend ask me to try the Flying Squirrels, That is the activity with approximately 20m height, and needs some vertical descent. At first, I refuse to have a try because I am afraid of height. But my friends encourage me to try and always give me the confident. Eventually I overcome my fear and enjoy the activity, just like a squirrel jumping through the forest.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Chinese and the culture of Teochew cuisine,especially the kongfu tea ceremony.
