About Me

I'm a young dude, graduated just 2 years ago, and there are a lot of surprises waiting for me to explore!I worked as a public accountant for a year, now I'm exploring other career options in the financial industry and maybe even outside of financial industry. I am passionate about sustainability and want to learn how countries around the world approach sustainability. I enjoy eating and cooking delicious food, and I want to learn and share with others the secrets of making great food! I enjoy working out everyday and follow a healthy diet, since a healthy body will take me a long way in life. But while travelling, the healthy rule don't apply and I just eat whatever it delicious! I am the ultimate DIY guy, I learnt how to cook by myself, I learnt how to sketch, I learnt how to play guitar (although I haven't play for a while); and I learnt how to cut my hair two years ago, haven't been to the barbershop since. And I am always looking forward to learn new things and explore new opportunities!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet with people around the world, learn their way of living and their philosophy, and apply meaningful lessons to myself. I would like to share with others my travel experience and stories. I would like to listen people's opinions about sustainability, and its significance for future generations. I would like to eat all the delicious food in the world, learn how to cook unique dishes, and have a cook off with my hosts to see who is the better cook~

While I'm not travelling, I'll be happy to welcome travellers to living at my house and share their stories with me.

Books: I love reading books on personal development.
Here are some books I red:
How to win friends and influence people
The magic of think Big
Think and grow rich
Put your Dream to the test
The defining Decade
Daring Greatly

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learnt how to cut my hair two years ago, haven't been to the barber shop since.

I learnt Salsa dancing in a bar in Montreal, after hopping 3 bars and having many cocktails on a Christmas Eve, totally drunk. I told my dance partner that I'm drunk and have no idea what I'm doing, she said: "Aww, that's cute"
And somehow I managed to learn the steps, but totally messed up my partner's tempo.

I had close encounter with a colourful, poisonous snake while walking the less travel path in Jiuzhaigou valley (in fact, I didn't see anyone on that path), China. I froze and pretend I was a tree, the snake ignored me and climbed up the tree. That's why I'm still alive today.

I can teach: accounting, personal finance, cooking, cutting your own hair, bodybuilding and healthy food choices
I want to learn: dancing, programming, building a website, having the balls to start a business
