Hi I am Aiyi (English name is Cora), an English Literature graduate, has worked in the cities for 8 years. I used to love traveling so I spent 9 months in 2014, traveling in Australia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, India and Nepal. After the journey, I started working again. But I felt this was no longer the life I wanted. So I decided to join a network related to organic farming and sustainable lifestyle and chose to live and work in a nature education center in the countryside. The more time I stayed there, the more I felt that I am part of the nature. I would love to continue on this path to discover more about myself and live a sustainable and harmonious way close to/in the nature. I also hope that I can share my love towards nature and my experience with the people around me. I has been practising some basic yoga for more than a year and like to continue with it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to live in a self-sufficient and sustainable community. So I would like to meet different people to discover more ways of living and get inspired.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

quited my job in Feb. 2014 and spent the following 9 months traveling in Australia, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, India and Nepal.
Memory unrolled before me. I helped on a farm and on a vinery in Australia, I worked with people from different country and culture, I volunteered for environment conservation activity. In India, I was put up in a stranger's home and listened to her strange Muslim culture of marriage, I was given a lift midnight right after I got off a bus in an Indian town and became friend with this stranger and his family. I was invited to dinner at the hotel owner's house because I was the first Chinese to stay in his hotel. I hung out with a bunch of local school girls on their Friends' Day and met an Indian actor shooting film. I completed the trek to the Annapurna Base Camp and Poon Hill in 7 days. I traveled the whole country of Sri Lanka by scooter. I participated in a 2-week meditation in Myanmar. A lot of first-timers and a lot of kind heart...
Through this unique journey, I've learnt to face my fear with ease and embrace the unknow with open heart. A lot of triffle things doesn't concern me as much as before. I am living every moment in the present.
