About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be brave to express

ABOUT ME

I like to see, to think and to be different. I'm easy-going you can describe me with anything but shy or dull; because I am proud of being passionate all the time about what attracts me. Loving doing sports like ping-pang, sking, skating and jogging.Love taking photos of what I see and where I am. For me, it's like seeing the world from other side. It has been said that there are two ways of traveling: reading great book and being on the way. We may experience what seems to be far from us, think in a totally different way and change our views to the world. The experiences of studying aboard give me a lot. And I'm trying to fit in. Fond of cooking, cycling and hiking. Taking a bus to the park or doing exercise during the week-end is very loveable. Also, I am a environmentalist and like to respond the others with a real action.

PHILOSOPHY

To open yourselves minds is the only way to open the ones of others. We are what we have experienced. The beauty of the nature is just there waiting to be found and recorded. Open our minds not only to the other people, but also to the world of nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was still in China, one day I found one of my friends had been traveling aboard on facebook, and he was surfing. It made me to think about my attitude about traveling. From his description, I found that CS is not just about free accommodation, it occurred to me that it is a new way of thinking and living and it's the best way to travel because you can learn to think and experience just like a local.

As soon as I settled down in France, I signed up in CS. I want to join in such a feast of passion and do my own contribution to it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Pity that I am living in a department too small for others, but I'm pleased to take you around Lille or make you a delicious Chinese dinner. Or if you're interested in stuffs about Chine, we can have a nice talk.

I am excited about my coming-first CS experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

Frankly speaking, I don't know if there is a type to describe my interest in these three aspects. Because all types are possible to arouse my thinking and to connect with my own life. So why not tell me your interest? Maybe I enjoy them a lot.
