About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking around the world~

ABOUT ME

I was born and grew up in Shanghai, China... then moved to USA in year 2000~ Like most people, graduated from college and got a job~ everything seemed pretty good, but I just felt there was something missing in my life. So... I quit my job in July 2012, and started backpacking around the world. No final date or destination, just a one way ticket and try to go as far as possible =)

PHILOSOPHY

Either way, I am lost >< hopefully by the end of my trip, I will find out~

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am backpacking around the world for 2-3 years. I'd like to make friends all over the world. The idea of couchsrufing is very interesting. I think it's the best way to meet local and learn something =)

Sorry that I always send out last minute request... b/c that's how I travel at the moment, sometimes I really don't know where to go tomorrow... I go to the bus/train station and ask for ticket for wherever next bus/train goes ~
