About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I teach myself how to grow old.

ABOUT ME

After 13-year-drudgery in a bank & a 16-month-traveling in Europe & Southeastern Asia & Southern Asia & some parts of China, I'm now running a family wonton shop back in Shanghai. Yep it's really an eatery within my appartment!
As my house wonton shop's only running for the first 10 days every month, so if u happen to come to Shanghai or surf my couch during my off days, I can surely show u around some interesting parts(in my opinions) in Shanghai. And of course, if u'd like to try some genuine local food, I can give u some tips:)
And u're most welcomed to volunteer on my business days!

PHILOSOPHY

I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, and hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Having been hosted a lot!
After I replied to couch requests with a ps. "PLS bear in mind that my place's 20 more kilometers from city center", those surfers were all unwilling to show up. So pls read thoroughly before sending your requests for I've already written this warning into my couch description!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Having travelled in Europe for 70 days mostly by couchsurfing, which turns out to be 99% positive!
10 months in SE Asia & India, the happiest moments always come with couchsurfers!
