About Me

CURRENT MISSION

open mind, be fantastic, and enjoy life

ABOUT ME

Native Chinese, studied in UK, currently work and live in Shanghai (the crazy city).

I perter to call myself arty. Enjoy tasty food, hidden restaurants and shops, music, travel, enjoy life. Attempting to get know of different people. Generally shy (and cold, according to some others) but always be prepared to talk those exciting stories, to listen and learn another kind of life.

·Spent a gap month in a hostel, worked in exchange of food and accommodation, hanged around with travelers from all over the world.

·Attended bands and gigs, tried casually busking.

·Began to draw since I have memory, drew posters for a period, but now feel happier just simply draw a greeting card to friends. Also be good at handcrafts.

·Weekly volunteered for a Victorian style gallery in England, back to uni by hitchhiking.

·Volunteered for a live venue. Returned by free performs from talk show to symphony.

-wooofed for a guesthouse in Nagano Japan for a month and learnt snowboarding.

·Crazy random trips, stay curious, tried my best to involved local. And have good memory for all interesting stories.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess my thought is more or less impacted by oriental culture and philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Both surfing and hosting. Currently settle down and be able to return some kindness of this world.
