About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be a person who creates beautiful buildings...

ABOUT ME

Easy going, calm, open-minded, etc. (basically any good terms you can use to discribe a Canadian...)
Born in China, grew up in Canada, currently live in this fast connected global village. Music nourished me, Architecture educated me, and to believe made me complete.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have surfed a few times. It was really cool that within a few days you can exchange coliding ideas and thinkings with others, and you meet really interesting people! They just don't exist ramdonly anywhere but within the CS community. And to be honest, I generally find a couch or a sofa bed more comfy than hostels.
