About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be free, be kind to others and be happy in life, be a bit happier everyday than the last day. Life is short, so enjoy it!

ABOUT ME

Mmm, where should I start? Well, I think brave, easy-going, openminded, adventurous, independent and adaptable can all be my traits, however, my character could be best described as curious. I am curious about people, culture and everything interested and new to me. That is also one of the reasons why I love Courchsurfing.

Sort of a new surfer, but have really enjoyed it! Since my first surfing in Shanghai in China, I fell in love with this awesome way of traveling, it was just amazing!

After two years of boring work in a stated-owned company (You know that! ), I decided to quit and started a long trip in New Zealand almost two years ago. Time flies, it's already been 15 months since I came. I have to say it's the most important year in my life, I have learnt and grown so much by working, traveling and of course couchsurfing. Be able to find out a bit of the local life and make life-long friends, this is awesome!

Time to carry on and start my new adventures. I have to say that traveling really inspires me.

PHILOSOPHY

There will be miracles when you believe.
