Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to welcome any fellow couchsurfers to any present city I am staying in. To share and learn, is the spirit of couchsurfing.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have found the house I am staying in Montpellier now through couchsurfing. Such a multi-cultural house with up to 5 languages spoken at one time! I love sharing traditional chinese tea ceremonies, my collections of wines and seeing my housemates sweat during winter when I make spicy thai soup (tom yum goong) makes me smile.

Interests

Wine is my number 1 passion. Influence of culture and history in winemaking draws me to this. I love arts and all sorts of music. Of course my alcoholic drinks too from Mojito to pisco sour to a nice malted beer to sake.

All kinds of music inspires me. Makes up a very big part of my life

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being able to experince true compassion and kindness from many people in new zealand. True and pure. The country and the people.

Of course not to forget I did Bungee jumping too!

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I am a wine geek. I speak mandarin too. If anyone has questions about Asia, happy to share the culture and mentality of this part of the world. I can make some nice asian dishes. Especially curry ! I love to learn about different cultures! To taste different cuisines from everywhere. Bliss is to be able to learn from others' life experiences
