I am an English Teacher and run my own studio for photography. Every year I will find time traveling abroad, and meanwhile host travelers from the world.

In different parts of the globe and the communicating with diverse souls I see the hidden beauties of this world, and the kindness from peoples touches me a lot. Couchsurfing community has become a reliable source for me to learn the world, and I also mean to do my contribution to bettering it.

I like languages. I would like to pick up local languages every time. Being able to communicate with the local, even just a small talk, is a treasure.

I will take a photo of you if permitted, and I would like to share with you my photography(the old film rolls stuff).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me a city(or just a site) is always defined by those charming people I met, their smiles, stories, or just a trivia habit, a line of dry wits, a wet blink in early summer night.

In visiting as well as hosting, I met different shoes and hair styles (and the way they deal with them) They are revealing!

I would like to provide my humble studio couch for world travelers(hot shower available, and walls of my photos).

Music, Movies, and Books

Non-native English writers' works attract me; Midnight's Children by Rushdie, Lolita by Nabokov, and some pieces from every year NYT recommendation.

Post-rock washs me down, Jazz, old flame, OST building up underground pipes of my being.

Movies, they are best city tour guides.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I throw photography exhibitions about my travelling every time. And in the end of 2017, I had the portrait of a girl caught in slapping snow in Konya, Turkey, hung in the huge screen of the biggest Shopping Mall in my city, without paying any money. I didn't know the girl or chat with her. And I am nobody to the Mall. The story I ll share you in face.

Teach, Learn, Share
