About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy the beatiful life and make new friends~

ABOUT ME

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.and I'd like to read all the pages this book.

2012.08-2013.8 I did one year volunteer work in Bristol,UK in a school for young people with special needs.Currently,I am working for an investment company,based in New York and London and also have to travel to Hong Kong quiet often.

And I have a plan to record my gap-year as a book including my life in Camphill school,travels in Europe,and most important the people i meet.So if you have any interesting stories or amazing experience,plz inform me.I'd like to put it in my book to let more people especially Chinese people know that world is full of possibilities,not only a steady job and a husband.;-)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is beautiful.

travle means a lot to me ,it is more than being to a new place,and meeting new people.I'd like to seek for the possibility of my life and others'.

Keep learning new things. tell me something i dont know. show me something I've never seen, anything. surprise me,open up my eyes and my mind. Enlighten me and greet me with your knowledge.
I want to be wiser than I was yesterday.

What are you waiting for?
If not now, when?

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”

What doesn't kill you makes stronger!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I read a report about a girl who travelled by couch-surfing,and it's really cool ,extraordinary experience.So I came here

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I knew this website only one year ago,but I have made a lot friends from it and they are wonderful people.and this makes me firmly believe people is the most beautiful part of this world

I hitchhiked from March 29th to April 28th,2012 from Qinhuangdao- Jinan--Weifang--Penglai--Changdao-Yantai--Weihai--Qingdao--Rizhao--Lianyungang--Yangzhou--Zhenjiang--Suzhou.I lived in Csers' homes in almost every city.Many thanks!!Deeply moved by those hosts who are my close friends now,i can't wait to host Cser as long as I have my own apartment one day.

Interests

caligraphy,painting,and map collections

Given the time, my favorite thing is to find the freeway entrance, stick out my thumb, and have faith.
I've met great people during my hitch-hiking trips. Personally,I think as long as you are good to everyone you meet, or at least try to be, that's a good life lived.

I love cooking.kitchen is the place i'd like to stay most.If convenient,I can do you Chinese food.Yummy!!Yummy!!lol

Thanks to a friend's instruction.i set out to interested in Buddhism and try to meditation everyday.It helps me to focus on personal spiritual development.
