我为什么使用Couchsurfing
A reformed writer, I am on a life sabbatical. Which basically means I'm running away from my responsibilities. Couch Surfing allows me to a) keep on running, and b) meet likeminded runners. My current HQ is mainland China, Hebei province.

我做过的一件令人惊叹的事
I visited four countries in one day. I'm not sure why I did that, it really was a waste of passport space.
我能与房东分享的
I make a mean White Russian cocktail, and I like doing dishes. And if you have pets, I will dote all over them - I love animals, especially dogs. Please also let me cook you something tasty, perhaps a dish from my home country. And of course, I would very much like to repay your hospitality with a nice meal at a nice restaurant.
