I'm currently settling down in my hometown, Yuyao, Ningbo, a city has a big shipping port and it’s around 2-3 hour drive from Shanghai.

I’d really like to host guests from other countries. But for now, I live with my family so it depends on their availability as well~

Optimistic might be the biggest quality in me. I like smiling and I enjoy the pleasure when I bring happiness to others, even just a smile.
I love life. I'd like to experience all the adventures around the world, as well as seek pleasure from simple daily life. I always remind myself to be aware of how lucky I am right now, and it's true. Thus, living with a grateful mind, no matter for what I have or I loss, for what I have experienced or those are waiting for me, for people I met or missed...
Also, I'm quite independent. Traveling alone always gives me more chances to get integrated into local societies and meeting interesting people all along the way. BTW, my top two "sightseeing places" are farmer's markets and the nature sceneries :D

Walking, jogging, cycling, music, movie, friends, family, reading, thinking, sharing, volunteering, caring for others...
and always LEARNING and GROWING.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It opens another door for me to know this WORLD, and MYSELF as well
making friends, exchanging cultures...

Music, Movies, and Books

Really depends on the moment lol...
sometimes prefer a little bit Jazz...but in general, musicians like Jack Johnson, Cara Dillon, Eason Chan (Hongkong), Alan Jackson, Allan Taylor, Zhang Xuan (Taiwan), Jonathan Lee (Taiwan), Lisa Ono...

And about the movies, hard to choose the favorites...but usually I prefer French movies, Japanese and Korean movies, or documentories... Also, almost every country i went to, I would like to watch some local movies with local languages, sometimes just enjoy the feeling sitting around by the locals in the cinema :b

Favorite writer: Echo (三毛, Taiwan)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My Gap year, which is filled with travels, help-exchanges (like working holiday), volunteers, internships and short-term jobs in Europe, Southeast Asia and China...also escaped with bare life for one time (feeling sooo good to be alive hahah :D

Castles, vineyard near Bordeaux , caravan camp, countryside holiday house, airbnb, agriculture farm with authentic Italian restaurant and pizzeria, public Thai school, resort in a small island, cozy hostel in central Bangkok, lovely kindergarten, authentic Malay cooking class, or organizing a talk show for Global Entrepreneurship Week China in Shanghai, managing volunteers around the world and being the coach for Summer camps (for UK teenagers) in a permaculture farm in Chengdu, helping to build the eco-house and living zero-waste life in Dali, being the volunteer for Wild China Film to advocate more protection/attention on wild lives in China....all these are life-long lessons and awesome memories for me.

Or just falling in love with traveling alone and meeting amazing people on the way...
