ABOUT ME
I am convinced that life is a journey that is full of adventures and fantasy. There is no true fear in life, the only enemy is yourself, I love challenging myself and pushing myself. Everyday our life is full with choices and opportunities, and sometimes it's hard for us to make decisions. But as far as I am concerned,remembering that you are going to die eventually is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose, nothing would matter after 100 years, you just have to follow your heart and intuition,then you'll know what you truly want.
I like figuring things out by myself, it's not that I have trust issues, it's just I don't believe in single-sided stories. I always go and find out myself, like all those places I've traveled and lived, and all the people I've met, sometimes I'm amazed how information can be so biased. no matter what the media says, what other people say, experience is always very personal. Just like life itself, you need to go there and do that, and figure it out yourself.
I love real moments, deep connections, intellectual conversations, happiness and puppies.
I try my best to experience life as it comes, to live in the present to enjoy every small moment. I remember I read a quote that went something like:"What happens but once,might as well not have happened at all.If you have only one life to live, we might as well not have lived at all." So, why not live life to its fullest.
Life is too short, the world is too big. I'm always on my way.
Try to make a difference wherever I go, even just to put a smile on a stranger's face. Make the world a better place to live.
PHILOSOPHY
Just enjoy life as it comes!
Let it be, let it go.
Live in the present.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I try my best to help couch surfers all over the world. I have hosted people from everywhere. I am addicted to traveling, during my trips to the world, I try to get in touch with locals who know the place better. CS really helps a lot, especially for people like me, who move around the world so frequently. I have surfed couches in China, Southeast Asia, USA, UK, Europe. I have to say that I enjoy surfing very much, I have met soooo many wonderful and amazing people, had some really unforgettable conversations, did some really crazy things. Without couchsurfing, I would never have had this unique chance to meet people from every where, to share life stories with them, to share moments with them, to see a different world from their eyes. I really appreciate cs spirit and experience! I will continuously participate in cs, share and share together!

I think there is an artist inside of me,because I like all forms of art:cinema, theater, painting, dancing, singing, playing music (A Chinese traditional instrument called Pipa,began to play when I was 9 years old), Chinese Calligraphy (began when I was 8) can teach you some if you are interested
reading & writing
Love keeping journals and going back from time to time to read them, always make me giggle
Astrophysics (Science fiction fan, can talk about astrophysics for days)
Big cinema and theater Fan!!! Plays and movies changed my life, and shaped the way I see the world and the way I live my life
Dancing:
Used to dream about becoming a ballerina (still do?), now just dance like nobody is watching in clubs
Traveling and living like a hobo, keep moving around. Live in different cultures and countries. Learn, learn fast and learn together.
