CURRENT MISSION

Leave everything better than when I found it.

ABOUT ME

I'm one of the happiest, most care free people you'll ever meet, and WATCH OUT! I'm contagious. I think most people take things too seriously. Hence wars, fighting, stress, worrying, etc.
I love to find interesting things to do where many would be bored to death.

It's not where you are, it's who you're with.

I love trying new things and keeping my mind open to everything (as I'm sure most people on CS do as well)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in leaving everything better than you found it- the environment, surroundings, belongings and especially people. I want to make a positive impact everywhere I go and I expect the same of other people.

I think it's really interesting to see that the most well off in China are usually less happy than the poor...

If you love life, life will love you back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I do my best to help surfers have an excellent, memorable trip, as many hosts have done for me in the past.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been awesome so far. Surfed a number of places while traveling around China and now I'm paying it forward to all surfers I can accommodate coming to Beijing. Met so many interesting people and have many unforgettable memories thanks to CS.

Interests

I LOVE adventures. When the unknown magically works out just in time, it's a beautiful thing. Motorcycle trips, flying, surfing, hanging out with friends, spontaneous hitchhiking trips, camping, cooking are just a few things I love.
