About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to travel around the world

ABOUT ME

i am a typical Sagittarius, optimistic and enthusiastic. I travel to different countries every year because I eager to know more about this world. When you see how people live their lives in person, you know there are so many different thoughts in the world.
i believe no matter what kind of dream you have, you will achieve it as long as you want it to be achieved.
Only the wearer knows where the shoes pain,
Only you know me when you come along with me...

PHILOSOPHY

Travel for the perfect moment and smiles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i want to help others just like how people help me when i was travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Twice in Germany....The story began from Barcelona~
2005 i had a travel plan to stay 40 days in Spain and 10 days in Paris.~~during the last 2 weeks in Spain,i visited Barcelona, where the great architect Gaudi built so many amazing architectue. This was the city where my couch-surfing life started .i met a couple in a restaurant,they were also during their vacation at that time. They are Taiwanese but came from Dresden, Germany because the husband had a job there. Before we met,i had not speak Chinese for almost 40 days. Beacuse backpackers awlways talked to each other in English, and talked to the natives in spanish. We were so happy to met each other. They gave me their address in Dresden, then told me if i went to Germany,welcome to stay in their home. so i had the first counch-surfing in Dresden.I changed my travel schedule, and booked ticket(esayjet)from Paris to Berlin.Even if the country was not on my travel schedule, and i totally had no idea with Germany(Cause i did not have any information about this country, i just prepared to stay in Spain and France). but i still went there.

The second couch surfing was in Berlin.Also in 2005.
Because the couch owners are the friends of two backpackers i met in Barcelona's hostel.

The third one was in Iran, when i took a night train from Zanjan to Tabriz, i met a family they just finished their trip and took the same train as me... they asked me to have breakfast in their place and after the meal i was asked to stay at their place... and i did enjoy the time with them

Those experiences are so wonderful~~
