About Me
current mission: busy with the final exams and other work and getting ready to revisit UK and travel in France during July and August, 2018, wish you good luck elsewhere.
ABOUT ME
Always wishing to do my work as well as I can. Open-minded,kind,and ready to meet new people and welcome old friends. Work hard and try to save money so that I can see a bit more of the world, together with my husband, who does wish to travel a bit every year.
PHILOSOPHY
Try to be what i can be, not what I am.
Hard work makes dreams possible.
The world can be a better place and every bit helps.
To love is to give, not to take. To love is to be responsible.
Forget what i have done for others but always bear in mind what others have done for me and be grateful to them forever.
Future generations must have a chance to survive.
Beauty comes from within.
Feel happy for those who are successful as if their achievements were my own.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
When my son began to take surfers home, I started hosting,feeling it a brilliant idea. I can travel without leaving home and wonderful people are coming to me from different parts of the world with stories to share! And there might be a better understanding between different cultures. In 2009 I tried couchsurfing myself in UK and since then I have been feeling it the most comfortable way to travel and get to know people and make friends across the globe. Those experiences and those hostesses and hosts remain among my fondest memories.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I did enjoy the society of those surfers at my humble place and I really appreciate the kindness and hospitality of my hostesses and hosts. If possible, I do wish to see them again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was brave enough to start couchsurfing!!!
I married the man I love against oppositions and I have not brought myself to hate him yet. I believe in love and try to sustain it and try to make life better for him.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can show you how to cook at least one Chinese dish and teach you to speak Chinese!
I will surely cook some food for you when I am available.
My husband is good at cooking, and that's why I am not good enough.
I will be happy to trade stories about travel, work and life.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Stories about myself, about Chinese culture, about what I have learned during my travel
I will cook Chinese food for my hostesses and hosts as well as for my surfers.
