I'm a fresh graduate doctor. Now, starting my career as general practitioner, and maybe continue in dermatology and venereal disease specialty afterwards. I have passion to travel the world ever since i joined exchange student program in USA back in 2007-2008. I didn't have much time back in my "teenage and early twenties" years, since med school has taken the majority of it. lol

I love making new friends, exchanging thoughts, sharing information about what each others never knew about before. Because, by listening and sharing, we'll understand better. I have fun hanging out together with friends, visiting new places, knowing its history to feel the soul of each places i go, living like locals, and of course, tasting locals foods!!

Anyway, I'm a Chinese descendant, but unfortunately I don't speak Chinese, #what a shame. My father can speak this language, but neither can my mother. So, we never communicate with that language at home, and my father was too busy to teach me, i think. So, as an effort, I did took course for Chinese language in 2006-2007. It was great, I could fluently speak, read, and write!! but it didn't last long, since i had no friend to speak with, and in 2007 i had to be gone to USA for 1 year, so the majority of my memory about it GONE.... (#whaaat??!!) T_T well, i can still understand a little bit of it #defense. lol

I love dogs. i have 7 of it at my house. hahhahah

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

why?? well, i just knew about this website after i read a blog about traveling, and i thought that i should take a look of it because it sounds great! Like i mentioned above that i love making new friends, learning new cultures and living like locals. Couchsurfing has it. Visiting new places is great, and to live like locals is even greater! i had great experience when i did exchange program living with host parents for 1 year, and i'm really hoping to do it again and again. Couchsurfing offers that opportunity, so i thought, why don't i give it a try?! By living with local people, i could learn better about that new place, rather than living in a hotel or hostel. That's what i thought. And also, i'm hoping to build a long life relationship with the friends i meet through couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

i almost fit to any genre, but i listen mostly to Taylor Swift, One republic, Coldplay, Backstreet boys, and sometimes when i need to get relaxed, i listen to classical music.

honestly, i don't read books that much, maybe i'm already too tired to spend my time reading medical textbooks with mostly 15cm thick. Geez..... (do i sound exaggerating?) lol
