About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just to slow down and savor every drop of wine in my life

ABOUT ME

I am just 1 of the 1.3 billions in that mysterious land called China. Yet am lucky enough to be able to go to several parts of the world to see how life is there. In 2008 I was working in India for an NGO to help improve the health condition of pregnant women and children under 5. Then I was working in an IT company in India. Been back to India for a month and traveled to couple awesome places.
Pace of life in China is getting too fast so I decided to take another step in my life. Now I am taking my second AIESEC internship in Jablunkov, Czech Republic.

PHILOSOPHY

Slow down, but don't be hesitant to move!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A very good friend has joined CS and traveled around Germany with me which really fascinated me. Not just the experience but the concept of CS is what impresses me most. CS is something that makes traveling really culturally barrier-free!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's a shame I don't have a personal couch back home in China. But I did housed many friends from Turkey, Singapore and so on. And now I have a big couch and I would love to open it to anyone in need!
