I am new to Couchsurfing. I joined because I believe there is another way of traveling, a way that I do not need to regret for the hours I spent in a hostel. I want to experience every part of the place I travel, especially how the local people live and how they view their city. I do not want to be restricted as a tourist who follows every tip given in the Lonely Planet. I would prefer a local bar, with the world's loveliest roasted mutton and home-brewed wine, yet only known to the local residents. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I couchsurfed for the first time in Mexico during the Spring Break 2015! The experience was so amazing that I could not wait to surf again! Thank you Ho at Mexico City and Camina & Esteban at Puebla for making my first couchsurfing experience so memorable! And I CouchSurfed again with Iwka & Dario Honey Badger and Duncan in Easter weekend 2015. I am so lucky to have such a nice chat with Duncan and I am sure I will catch up with the honey badgers in your future world trip! I am now a die-hard CS member for the amazing people I have met and the invaluable love and friendship they have offered.

Music - I love music that fits in the mood. But I love Joe Hisaishi all the time. And I am in a crash with a music brand - YG Entertainment, Korea. I love almost all its artists - BigBang, 2NE1, Akdong Musician, etc. Movies - Farewell My Concubine, "exactly" and "deeply" Chinese as it does not dramatize as Zhang Yimou's productions. Books - Pride and Prejudice is my favorite novel. The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck, you would not want to miss out this one!
