About Me

Updating
2015.6.10 For those who might send me requests. I'm sorry I couldnt host from Jun 18th-July 24th for a trip. Hope you guys have fun in Wuhan.
2015.6.8
I'm leaving China soon, exited as well as panic at the moment. Really looking forward to it.

CURRENT MISSION
To figure myself out, find my position on this beautiful amazing planet and spread happiness and smiles to everyone I encounter with.

ABOUT ME
Overall I'm a typical female Gemini. Many of the prominent features of a Gemini can be found in me.
Energetic, imaginative and adaptive.
I'm a simple, easygoing and funny person generally.
But as many ppl know that Gemini has a double personality, so it is with me.
Sometimes I'm talkative, other times I'm quiet. Sometimes excited, other times blue.
But none of the cases do any harm to anyone, I'm friendly to this world at any rate.

Compared with telling stories to others, I'd like more to hear adventurous ppl tell their special experience and fantastic stories.
I'm curious about the outside world and ppl on the other side of the earth. Eager to know how they live, how they think.
I should have started my journey in CS earlier, for the ppl here are incredible and awesome, from whom I could learn a lot.
I'm still glad that eventually I take my first step to participate in Couch&Surfing by filing this profile first, in fact I heard of CS long time ago but never did I have the courage to start.
My travel experience before was almost completely blank, I have never been to any other countries besides China.
But I'm not feared to explore this world from this moment on. Better late than never.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore the world in a different way. One night of April,2015. I happened to meet a young man from Yugoslavia who had been to many countries by the age of twenty. He's talkative and knowledgable, not like 20 at all, he impressed me a lot. The more we talked, the more clearly I realized what kind of ppl I wanted to meet, what kind of places I wanted to see. It's like another voice resting deep inside my heart for years has been wakened. I couldn't wait to start just then, so I thought about CS, which I did want to try long time ago, the most likely way in which I could get a better understanding of this world.

Interests

You know Gemini tends to disperse energy on different tasks, yes I have many various interests. (Superficial maybe)
I love running, feel relax when run. It's a good way to think and feel your existence when running alone.
I enjoy cooking and baking. Always try new recipes even if they turn out to be bad. When the rest turn out to be good, I think those bad ones pay off. Haha...
Hiking has become my new hobby since the end of 2014. It's really great to feel the earth beneath my feet.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
Any music that catches my ears are welcome. Pop, classic, R&B, K-pop all do. Japanese songs, Korean songs, American songs or Spanish songs, as long as of beautiful rhythm, I'll listen.

MOVIES
Mostly American movies and series(have to admit, America culture has a great impact on we Chinese young ppl).Too many I can't list all of them. The Grand Torino. The American Beauty. The Big Fish. Good Will Hunting(I seem to be fascinated about genius guys movies) Fighting club. The Hero 6(I love animations indeed). Finding Nemo. Frozen.etc. Not to mention The Big Bang Theory, Two Broken Girls, Grace, the Good Wife,blahblahblah..... I also like Japanese animations a lot, used to possess a lot of comic books. My favorite Japanese animations are Naruto, Sen and Chihiro, Doraemon, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finished a three-day hiking with one eye available(I accidentally had my right eye injured in the gym, got 8 stitches around it)

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH
I probably can teach some Chinese or how to cook Chinese food. Or make some cookies, I learned how to make chocolate chip cookies from a good friend, and I think they are really good. If you're interested and time permits, I can do for you.

LEARN
I'm interested in learning new languages, currently Spanish. But any other foreign languages def can attract me if you are willing to teach.

I'm in the course of learning how to play guitar, a tough one for me because my hands are too small, but I really like it. Still a novice.

I don't hang out a lot, so maybe I couldn't give you authentic tips of traveling in this city. But if I can be of help, I'd always like to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All the food or fruit you can find in my house are edible. Just make yourself at home. Also, you can use the kitchen when my in-laws are absent. I guess I could have hosted earlier without their existence.(but I have to live with them, I will take care of this part, don't worry.)

I have a living room and a study room to offer. In the living room, you can sleep on the couch or on the floor(since it's wider) . While in the study room, a much smaller room, but I guess it won't be a problem for maximum of 3 ppl. I have a piece of mat and a sleeping bag(very thick one) to provide. Tell me anything you need, I will do my utter most to arrange.

Only one bathroom.
