About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to find something meaningful

ABOUT ME

I was born in a town in Xinjiang,graduated from a local university and have been working in the government for years. I'm very simple,easygoing and open-minded.I was born in the year of dragon,according to Chinese astrology,so I've got a character of fun-loving,popular,perfectionist,gifted but may sometimes tactless,which I believe is reasonable.
My life-time dream is to travel around the world.That's why I join couchsurfing cos I think this is a good place to get some knowledge and experience about the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a kind of sceptic.But genarally I believe life is good and people are most nice.I just feet that it's impossible to find any truth,about our history,about the place where we live,the planet,the world and people's heart.So all I can do is to make everyday meaningful and try my best to be nice to others.
I read a lot of philosophy or techniques of how to get along with people,make things easy,but I believe that actually there's no conclusion about how to act,talk and treat people.Just be yourself,that's why we exist,that's why the world exist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was introduced by an American friend to join this society and then I found it's fun to do.It's a great opportunity to meet people and make new friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a fantastic experience of meeting couchsurfers.Some of them are knowledgable,some are interesting,some are very unique.We explored the city together,we talked,we enjoyed the food, we laughed.And we exchange ideas about people,about countries,about life,about everything. It's so amazing to meet them,which made me feel I found a new world through their eyes. I like it.

Interests

I often feel restless but sometimes I can be as lazy as a cat. I love shopping,reading and watching movies.When it comes to something about sports,I like swimming and yoga.I also love travelling,any kind of,very simple and wild trekking or a very luxury one with five star hotel,sunshine and beaches.I also love learning languages.I am always ready to talk with people who I find interesting. But when I am home,I most often find myself mopping the floor,because I just cann't bear a floor which is not clean and shining. I also love cooking and I'd like to learn to cook all kinds of food.Last but not least,I love fanshion,clothes,bags,jewelries and those with a smart and beautiful design. Now I'm doing something with 2 friends about it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Jane Austin,all of her books.I wish my English was better then I could possibly read more English books.But recently one of my biritish friends gave me a book"River Town",which I really like very much. It's about an American guy's 2 year life in a river town in Sichuan,full of meditation,sympathy and doubt about Chinese oriental culture.
