About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just enjoy the ride and see what comes along

ABOUT ME

OF GREAT IMPORTANCE, SINCE THE WEBSITE BREAKS DOWN A LOT, HERE IS MY EMAIL 148121882@qq.com

PHILOSOPHY

Passion is the key to happiness

I always believe in truth, goodness and beauty.

I believe in core values we share with other people dispite race,gender,age and cultural backgrounds. We can live in harmony with others and nature, all we need to do is to listen.

其实人性的本质是一样的,但人与人的不同才教世界色彩缤纷。而我的使命 就是用文字来描绘各种缤纷。欢迎带着各色故事的你走入我的人生。

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Jennifer, thanks a lot for introducing me to this amazing world!!! I find home here, honestly.
周荆最伟大了!!!是她告诉我这个伟大的网站的!!!

I really do hope that I can have more couch requests from surfers all around the world since I am gonna stay at home for a while. I do hope we can get the Shijiazhuang CS group more active and attractive!!

希望在带你探索石家庄的时候,也让我充实对于家乡的文化记忆啊!!想不想来尝尝驴肉火烧呢??哈哈!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Taiwan is my first couchsurfing expericen!! IT IS AMAZING!!!! COUCHSURFING HAS CHANGED MY LIFE~~I met lots of fabulous people, and met my soul-mate friend No.1 Cathy.

台湾就好像是开启潘多拉宝盒的旅程,沙发客不试则已,只要用过就会上瘾!我隐约觉得沙发客旅行的宗旨会演变成我的信仰,产生一种类似宗教的情结。在台湾遇到Cathy,精神的双胞胎一号,哈哈。

I met 2 great cser in Xi'an and became friends with each other at the first sight!!

I surfed around Yantai Weihai and Qingdao, 3 seaside cities in Shandong Province

I couch surfed in Yunnan for my post graduate travel!!

I met my soul-mate No.2 Dominika in Xiamen!!I hope we can work together sometime, maybe in Poland!!

Dominika是我厦门之行最大的收获,这就是沙发客网站神奇的地方,尽管不知道何时何地,但你永远清楚能够遇上自己的同类人,谁说一见如故是小概率事件了??

met several CSers in Chengdu & Chongqing, Kim and Jason gave me some new inspirations!!

surfed in Nanjing with Ling, and she brought me to her two hometowns Yangzhou and Yuyao, both with amazing food and style!! It's like we've known each other since last life, definitely soul-mate NO.3! Ling, Fanfan and me had a spectecular time together.

小玲纸,我的小花,我的绕绕,不用培养的默契,还能怎么说呢,我爱你哇姑娘!!

Met several couch surfers in Hong Kong. Lovely experience to Lamma Island, my favorite spot in HK till now:)

Back to Taiwan for my second and third time, met so many unique persons on the road. Great inspirations!

After almost 3 years, I finally found my soul-mate NO. 4 in Turkey, the lovable Mina:) Together we'd make the whole sky and ocean, "Mina" and "Deniz" in Turkish:)

精神姐妹四号出炉咯,且呈现年轻化趋势。想我19岁上大一,既没有好好学习琴棋书画,也没有勤练瑜伽修身养性,更没有环游欧洲当沙发主,天空小姐真的是起步早得不是一点点啊!

Ps: Although most of the people that Imet on couchsurfing are definitely open-minded and friendly, I do have come across 2 guys who seemed to have make couchsurfing as a business. One has taken my friends and me to an overly-charged breakfast and freaked out as we became causious later, telling him that we are not taking the hot balloon that he recommeded. He claimed that he has paid the balloon company already which we found weired, since we were only asking for information and never asked anyone to pre-pay for us before coming to a conclusion.

Another guy asked to ''borrow'' money from me the night right before I was gonna take the flight back home and never mentioned it anymore. It's not big money and it would be fine if he had told me that I should pay for the water or electricity or anthing. Maybe ''borrow" means something different to him.

I didn't feel comfortable with these experiences and deleted the 2 guys long before. But it occurs to me that if I haven't said anything on their page, someone else may experence the same thing over and over again. Sorry I couldn't find those 2 guys' profiles any more. Just sharing these stories to let you guys know that there can be various experiences through couchsurfing.

Anyway, let's attract cultured and fun people to our own home!

Music, Movies, and Books

movies, gotta say everyone Audurey Hepburn was in,also high school musical, step up and she's the man.Hitch is quite nice too, Will Smith it the HOTTEST man in the world

I am also huge fan of Harry Potter and Slam Dunk. I guess I just never grow up:)

奥黛丽赫本是我心中真善美的化身,无可动摇的女神。我是看灌篮高手和哈利波特长大的,他们是我的伙伴,甚至也影响了我的三观。BTW,我很爱科比布莱恩特的哟。

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

wondering around Taizhong with absolutely no plan, ended up with a nice Hongkong girl in Art Street and the marvelous Qingjing Farm, sascreaw amazing mountains and sunset

其实一个人旅行最大的好处,就是永远有空间容纳完全陌生的玩伴加入。也许,会变成最佳旅伴哦!
