Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a world full of diversity!

Since I onboarded on CS I've met so many nice people in my previous travelling experiences, and we have become very good friends and are still in touch. Travelling with local residents and meeting new friends with all kinds of cultural backgrounds is unparalleled.

As a youngster with a permanent attitude for life-long learning, people I met here and the talks we had have been one of the sources of inspiration for me, for which I'm truly grateful.

Interests

I have very broad interests and the most frequently practiced ones are in photography and sports related categories. On the weekend I usually go out riding my bike with my camera/drone in the mountains(hangzhou has great access to nature), sometimes rowing in the beautiful west lake as well.

Artificial intelligence and its application in real life also intrigues me because I'm in this industry. But don't worry, I'm not a nerd :D
