Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf instead of host as I don't have a place to offer. But that doesnt make my CS experience less charming. I've made to many local CS events, from night out to morning dim sum; from afternoon beach hit to all-day-long bar crawl. I also invaded London as well as Spain!! Having been chilling out with bunches of CSers from all around the world, I'm still having fun with this big CS family and it'll never end.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS is where mind meets mind, people inspire people.
It's mind blowing.

Interests

Reading, painting, traveling, swimming, hiking, sleeping, wandering. Love music, concerts, festivals and PARTIESSS!

Or simply, I just enjoy a big laugh - anything made you laugh out loud is the essence.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Never stop exploring!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Okie I can teach you Cantonese and Mandarin if you would like learning them. I have tutored some exchange students before and it worked out - they can survive and even bargain in Shenzhen, China. So I think I am good enough to be a tutor ;) And I can teach you Cantonese style English if you want too - just simply add a 'la' and 'aiya' occassionally in your sentence :P
