ABOUT ME

About me. I am busy. busy on working,traveling, running and friends gathering. If I host you I will try to make the time for you but do not be upset if I can not.
I am well connected to people in Shanghai, all good venues for food, night life or different events. That also explains why i am so busy.
General speaking I am a simple and happy person but sometimes I can be emotional. You know the girl thing.
I would like to meet and hear people from everywhere. It helps me to be a wiser and open minded human being.
My own experiences and mistakes always taught me to be a better person and make the better choice in the future . Everything around me is pretty good and I feel happy about it.
Cooking is one of my specialties. All my friends love it but i ate a lot outside because i do not have time for cooking. I also like to eat the good food.
Can not think more.. Well when you need to be hosted in Shanghai or meet me in person you will have the better understanding of me.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short
Break the rules
forgive quickly
love truly
laugh constantly
And never stop smiling

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Do what I can do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since i joined CS i met great people in my life and some of them became very good friends. For that I am still willing to meet more amazing people here.

Of course sometimes you will meet the people you can't stand and you may not know how to deal with. That is just the life. We are always going to be better!

I am the host and sometimes i surf . CS is never the free hotel. You want to meet people who is interesting and kind , same minded people. You are making friends.

Interests

Almost everything involving traveling, laughing, photographing, eating, drinking and sleeping. :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am looking for the running buddy every week. 2-3 times, one hour running close to French Concession.

2015 I mainly dedicate myself to my work, hopefully i can got time for myself and travel more.

2014 I have experienced most bumpy time on my career which also allow me to take a lot of holidays: India for my good friends wedding; back to Europe for a month visiting my friends in France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and Germany; last minute plan to visit my old colleague in Kenya experiencing the beautiful Africa coast and Masai Mara for safari, Cambodia for half marathon and also got my 1st tattoo in my life, HK to reunion with my Danish and Dutch friends.

2013 I dedicated most of my time on my career and spend some time traveling in US to visit my beloved friends. Nothing I can add credit for and nothing I could regret . Life is good in general and I am satisfied!

2012 I played Cricket and knocked two experienced player out of the court. I joined the football team called O'malley Cats which is only female football team sponsored by O'malley's bar. First Game I got Injured and finished my GLORIOUS Soccer Career. (You know its a joke. :P)

2011 I started to run...3 month from 1k to 3k to 5 k to 7 eark to 9kdid my first 10k in my life in 1hour 15min.Totally love it.I never know that I have potential to be a runner.It just tell me that everyone have all kinds of potential. The only key is just do it. :)

2012 I will start help fundraising for water charity. It is for drilling well in central Africa, In this way people can have safe and clean water. If you feel you want to do something please join my project. The single small fund can bring so much.From 2012 I will not take any gifts for my birthday or anything.
