About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Round the world for a year

ABOUT ME

I used to be very ambitious. My ambition when I was little is to be an astronaut. Ability of dreaming and thinking big seems to go against ageing.Answering the question of "how and where do you see yourself in five years time?" in an interview is my all time horror. But I start having a dream in 2010-traveling around the world. Not being daring enough to dream big still, I will be satisfied if the trip can last for a year. had been saving and preparing for the coming round the world trip ever since. have started the trip in 2012.

PHILOSOPHY

Have been looking for, exploring my true inner self. After all these years, I think I probably do not have one as I change too quickly?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Was introduced to couch surfing by a friend, Des. Have couch surfed every now and then since Oct'2012.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Enjoyed couch surfing as all my hosts are great!! Made life time friends here. A very good way to get to know local communities and culture better. And of course, undeniably, a way to save.

Interests

I spend quite some times reading. And I like traveling for sure. Swimming was the subject of essay titled "my hobby" when I was at school. I do not swim that often anymore now though. I like adventurous activities but still I love myself a bit too much to engage in too extreme activities.
