About Me

ABOUT ME

She is an adventurer who never stops exploring the world and her inner-self.

PHILOSOPHY

because I wished to live deliberately,

to front only the essential facts of life,

and see if I could not learn what it had to teach,

and not, when I came to die

discover that I had not lived.

-- Thoreau

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I became a CSer before I was aware of CS:) In the winter of 2011, I moved to Beijing and stayed on my friend Stan's couch before I could find an apartment of my own. Stan is an exceptionally interesting and nice person, he hosts other surfers on his other couch the same time I was there. That's how I got to know Couchsurfing.

I always had good talks with the surfers, and some of them become friends I still keep in touch with. This brief couchsurfing experience is very pleasant. I like this way of interacting with people and get to know the part of the world that I don't yet know.
