About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Working hard to save money for my next mission - to live and study in Europe :)
while enjoy living a simple mindful life in Alice Springs and continue to learn and practice natural healing. In 2015, I have completed my mission to study natural healing/medicine in Taiwan :)

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Hong Kong and lived in Adelaide in Australia for 10 years. Now I am living in the center of Australia - Alice Springs. I think I am a born traveler. I would like to travel all over the world to see different landscape, people, culture and living styles. Another reason I like travel because I think it's a good way to experience life and to grow up. I am a student of the Buddha's teachings which i found it really helps me to be a better and happier person. I also like to learn new and different things. To me the nature is the most beautiful thing on earth and beings are living in one family in one home. I have found my passion which is natural healing!
I lived in China, HK, Taiwan, Australia, USA, Guatemala and traveled to Canada, UK, France, Italy, Vatican, Switzerland, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and Korea.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live mindfully; I believe life is from moment to moment and I am responsible for my life, happiness and health. I try to live within nature and be balanced, mindful and to learn to see things as they really are, not they appeared to be; to live happily, in harmony and peace with myself and others

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I always want to see/understand/experience the world. I prefer not just travel but to learn meet and live with locals to really get to know the life of the place. So when I heard of CS which immediately caught my eyes. I used CS in Taiwan the first time that was awesome! CS is just a brilliant idea/place/support for people who love travel and get to know locals!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I and a friend stayed in 4 CS hosts in Taiwan and met 2 CS hosts. They were all very nice and interesting people/families and helped us a lot! Later, 3 people we met in Taiwan came to Australia. When we meet again we just felt like old friends! Amazing & incredible!
