CURRENT MISSION

To open myself to all exciting possibilities that life offers.

ABOUT ME

I graduate from Xiaoshi high school in Ningbo and I am studying at Northwestern University in Chicago, USA. Ever since young I have developed my passion for traveling, opening myself up to new experience and know more about this world. I enjoy meeting new people and get to know a new life style.

PHILOSOPHY

My life philosophy is to open myself up to this big ball of shit that called life . I concentrate on every small personal growth and endeavor to better myself so that I could make contribution to the world. The more I travel, the more space I find for improve, the more strongly I feel that love is a circle and I need to strive to pass down the love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

All kinds of music, book or movie.... I am the kind of person that could absorb whatever life throws at me, so I just grab a book and read. I love learning and bettering myself constantly. My favorite author is 三毛, who is a Taiwan author and traveler. My favorite movie is Three Idiots and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, as they guide me to chase after my passion and dream instead of living to other people's mold.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went trekking with no appropriate gear, then got caught in the snowstorm but was rescued. Sneak into library and sleep there. Walk with no shoes and receive wired looking from people. Dance through the mall and enjoy my own world. Sold tea on the train from Wuyi Mountain to Ningbo and amazingly made 50 RMB. Interned at a local bicycle shop and learned how to repair bicycle and serve people. Played chess with old people in the park continuously for one month....

Teach, Learn, Share

I received professional badminton training since I was 5 years old and I am the China National Second-rated Athlete. I am in Team Ningbo and got top three in Zhejiang Province. I have been part-time working as a badminton coach for two years. Therefore, I will be able to teach people badminton. I can also play guitar, cook Chinese food, yoga, meditate, play soccer, so I am more than happy to share my passion with other people. I read extensively and would like to exchange ideas about literature with people who have the same interest with me.
