About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Helping other people and improving myself

ABOUT ME

I am always curious about different culture and lifestyles, so I often travel to different place and talk with different people and sometimes live or work with them for a while. I think those experiences can help me know more about the world and myself.
Travel is a amazing thing and I think it is not just for fun. I also think a lot of things in trip, such as how to understand different people's custom, what are the most important things in others' life, where is the most suitable place for me to live or work in the future, and so on.

I am a nice and adventurous person and I believe there are much more good people than bad people in the world.

I have a ambitious goal in career. I plan to start my business with my friends someday and try our very best to make the company rank the first in its field.

In 2012, I crossed Canada by hitchhiking and couch surfing. I met different people and saw various lifestyles, which helped know that there are always different living styles and I don't have to just follow the ordinary people around me. I can always live in my way and chase for what I like. Also, during the travel I got a lot of help from other people, so I want to help other people and spread this kindness.

If you want to visit Canada, especially Edmonton, you are always welcome to contact with me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a fantastic community in which we are trying to help each other. Also, it's a good way to learn different lifestyles, culture and stories.
