Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My first experience with CS was when I made my first trip to Suzhou a couple of years ago. Later on were in another CS beach party and camping event in sydney. I also did couch surfing in paris last summer. They are all terrific!
Music, Movies, and Books
"Amelie" by Audrey Tautou. I just love her character in the film, so adorable:] I love music of different styles esp Jazz and Spanish guitars with castanets, also enjoy watching ballet and flamenco too. One recent book I randomly picked from a bookstore which I quite like: "La Seduction. How the French play the game of life" by Elaine-Sciolino
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Going on a 3-day camping in the desert of inner mongolia. And the most striking moment was to catch the sunrise in a freezing dawn over there. More to name, the moment when I finished another 3-day hiking in nepal, that was just amazing. So accomplished! And the mountain view of Himalayas was all beyond words
