Ciaooooo!

My name is "Xiaowei", or "Vivi" for short.

I admire the world. I feel always curious about the nature and human culture. Sometimes I'd be really quite, but traveling around and communicating with people is always my passion.

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. - Bruce Lee

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

* Since Oct 2009 I joined this CS family, my view has been updating all the time. Starting from looking for places to stay, I've learnt to get involved in meetings and parties with people from all over the world; starting from surfing couches, I have been enjoying offering my guests with my own.

Thanks to CS, I've learnt a lot from the diversity of culture, society and people's life. I can feel myself changing into a more lively and independent person all the way along my involvement in CS.

To be hones, I can hardly imagine what my life would be like and how I would have ignored the world without all the experiences of CS. I believe that the world is always trying to surprise you and what we need is to get ready and show your smiles.
