About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel and experience.

ABOUT ME

I consider myself easy-going, fun, open-minded, frank, and clean.
Ah, also, I am gay.

I currently live in the Netherlands. One of the most (seemingly) open countries in the world. But we don't get stoned and hit the red light district everyday lol. And no, we do not have that many windmills anyway. But yes, the flower industry is still a cliche that we are proud of.

My parents are Chinese. So I consider myself a banana. Half Chinese, half Western. Kinda contradicting but I enjoy the cultural mix. It always gives me two sides to look at a certain matter.

PHILOSOPHY

Serendipity is life.
There's always a tragedy behind every comedian.
Curling is a sport and it's not FUNNY!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm an active member in the local events.
Also I was once the organizer of the Shanghai CS picnic potluck.
If you want to know sth or want me to be a tourist guide, just send me a message. I will always reply. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As a member for almost 7 years, I’ve seen ups and downs. I’m glad that CS hasn’t died out and has sort of gotten a new form to continue. However, I do feel that the people are changing. I’m still learning about and hopefully getting used to the changes as an oldie.

Interests

Sports:
I hardly sleep during Olympics, so you can tell I love a wide range of sports. But Volleyball is always my favourite. Ice-skating and curling are also amazing.

Topics:
I like linguistics most. It's amazing. So I really enjoy any conversation about it. Also, history is bloody brilliant! Chemisty, geography, biology, psychology , arts, music etc. are also very intersting except maths and physics.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Thanks to my hipster Belgian best friends, I am now an indie folk bitch.
But my gay side still keeps me obsessed with Britney Spears.
Also, I love house and electronic

Also, disco from 70's, 80's and so on is my guilty pleasure.

Books:
History

Movies:
Great films need to accompany with great music pieces. and both fulfilled my criteria to judge a film.
