CURRENT MISSION Learning to balance and live my life as I enjoy ABOUT ME I am a Chinese who is easy going, curious, adventurous, dare to try things she never tried. That is why I am working in a haunted village in the middle of nowhere in Portugal. PHILOSOPHY Everyone is like a book, I want to learn and experience as much as possible, to try to break my limits again and again, to be a upgrading person that remains refreshing herself and interesting even known for decades. I want myself to be able to take good care of myself and be happy, no matter where I am living, what job I am taking, how much I earn, with someone or by myself, 30 or 80 years old. It doesn´t matter where you are from, what you have and where we meet. The only thing matters is who you are now. This life is properly one and only life I have, so I want and need to live it in my ways, not in the ways I am expected to. Make choices and don´t look back.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE New experience in 2017 March: Slept on the mattress in the living room of my boyfriend after our first met on local meetup event and went for hiking trip together with the meetup group members on the second day. June: Traveled from 10th to 17th to Belgium and Romania with my Portuguese boyfriend, we were staying in three houses with awesome hosts in Brugge and Brussels, Belgium, Brasov, Romania. We enjoyed much talking, cooking and hanging out with our hosts. It was our first trip together and my first experience about couchsurfing, and I enjoyed it very much. Before 2017: Enjoyed couchsurfing activities occasionally and couched for twice. The first time was a few days before 2011 Christmas after joining someone's birthday, watching TV and talking with a guy from USA until sunrise. The second time was Valentine's day in 2012 after joining CS meeting, going back at around 2 am and talking until 4 am. Never hosted anyone cause I have been living very far away from major tourist attractions. The reason I am on Couchsurfing: I believe more in experience and humanity than in god. So I hope to experience more or meet more new people to share our experiences.
