Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Thanks to my parents who love travelling, from childhood i have been travelling around China and also Japan, HK, Taiwan, Australia and etc.

Since becoming capable of designing tour on my own, I have tried my best to experience the local life when i was travelling

Then Airbnb and youth hostel became my choice since my freshman year when i travelled to Korea or Thailand, interacting with other tourists

As my seniors who travelled to Europe recommended me Couchsurfing, and said he had really awesome memories with local people in different European cities.
I got to know such new traveling style and searched about it on the Internet, and found that Couchsurfing is what i was desiring for.

Therefore, I can not wait to start my couchsurfing right now!!!

Actually I have done a coachsurfing in Hongkong in Feb.2017 with an awesome host for 3 days. And it was really a cozy, excellent stay there, that's why I got addicted to coachsurfing right now.
(However the host's account has been attacked so there's no existing reference right now)cry..

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music: Especially for you-M.Y.M.P（a not so common R^B band)
Movies: Godfather, Little Luck(Chinese）
Books: A song of Ice and Fire, chasing daylight, river town
星新一
村上春树

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing paragliding in the area of Mount Fuji（富士山） in Japan in Dec.2016!

Flying together with a experience coach in the fantastic sky
Spectacular Mount Fuji was just towards our face.

Flying in the sky and enjoy Fuji should be the most unforgettable scenery in my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

as a surfer:
1) Before the trip, i will keep in touch with the host about the rules or regulations about living in the room.
2) Obey the rules and Help the host do housework.
3) If the host give me food or take me to somewhere to eat or visit, share the cost voluntarily.
4) Bring a small gift to the host.
5) When I leave, say goodbye and express thanks to the host
6) Teach hosts Japanese or Chinese( if he/she would like to learn)
7)After I am back home, write "Thank you" card or e-mail to the host, and keep in touch with each other, welcome the host to come to my city.

What I Can Share with Hosts

1.Some advice for learning foreign languages since i was raised up in the environment of several languages（if hosts wanna learn it)
2. A small but delicate gift
