ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that one can and must hope for a sane society that furthers man's capacity to love his fellow men, to work and create, to develop his reason and his objectivity of a sense of himself that is based on the experience of his productive energy.
I believe that one can and must hope for the collective regaining of a mental health that is characterized by the capacity to love and to create... -- Erich Fromm

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Everyone gives out something that makes CS project possible.

Starting my exchange in Paris I had my first couch surfing in my buddy's small living room. This was an amazing experience to me and I thus would like to pay it forward.

During my exchange in Paris, I fulfilled my dream to travel around Europe and meet diff people. CS project is a wonderful platform!

Coming back from Paris, Now I will be involved in CS community in HK.

Centres d'intérêt

I enjoy small happinesses of life, especially those involving one's effort.

Nature. I enjoy a walk in sunny days or starry nights. Watching all those beautiful landscapes and being speechless about the amazing order of the nature. I completed a 100KM rail walking in 36 hours in 2013.
Photography: Keep learning by doing. I love to discover small corners of every city by my camera.

Cooking. It is a process which involves concentration, sharing and creation. I'm eager to learn from you and willing to my favorite Home-made Chinese cuisine with you.

Tea. It represents an attitude of life. Somehow I feel the mental freedom in it, which makes you see things from a detached perspective.

Art and architecture. I love impressionism and Post-Impressionism. I am so lucky to live in Paris where I can watch Monet's Water Lily and visit his beloved Giverny. ^^

Sport. Football, running, hiking... I love sports, especially enjoy drinking a large bottle of water after exercising. I play football nearly once a week with friends. Zinedine Zidane is my favorite football player. I'm a "pose method" runner and I could give a tutorial for you to improve your running form and technique.

Traveling. Meeting people from all around the world and try to find out how people and life can be so different. The truth value of traveling to me is to widen one's horizon to the various lifestyles different people could have.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I enjoy talking to friends, one for each time, which I can really concentrate to listen what he or she say, especially when two of us enjoy in a peaceful moment, may it be a walk in wonderful weather or sitting in a cafe or a tidy living room, where we can see time flies slowly. Forget all the tedious and annoying matters, talk about everything from heart.
