Hi my name is Baoshuang(or vivi).I love people. I love peace.I love animals and feeding stray cats.I love a deep conversation and all kinds of stories. On the way up the mountain, the two nuns played with me in the water. They kept filling the water, pouring it out, arranging it, filling it again, and pouring it out again…Isn't life just constantly filling the water, pouring it out again, arranging it, filling it again and pouring it out again?!What is needed in this process is kindness and wisdom. Life is a journey. Live in the moment and enjoy it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always travel alone and sometimes I get lonely. Because for me natural beauty and historical places are only a small part of it, what is more important is the human interaction. It's wonderful to laugh and share funny stories or silly things with different people from all over the world. It's a blessing to live a short life and cherish every interaction. I want to meet you, I want to spend some good moments with you with my smile, my friendliness and my fun. I want to get to know you, see you, hear your stories, get to know the local cultural life and really understand what the people who live there think and feel.I have strong curiosity and I want to learn everything if you have time to share.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to Paris after midnight to chat with various people and enjoy the view of the Eiffel Tower. I traveled alone in Tibet to visit various temples to meet the masters for tea and wisdom conversations.
