CURRENT MISSION

I sold off ALL of my belongings so I will have nothing anchoring me to anywhere. I intend to travel all over the world, I do not plan to stop until I feel I have sufficiently seen and experienced something from everywhere. Then, I will publish my journals

ABOUT ME

I come from a big family (2 sisters and 3 brothers). I have moved around so much, and met so many different kinds of people, that I have been exposed to most cultures. I approach everyone with the same amount of respect and compassion. I tend to get along with almost everyone. And if I meet someone that I just do not get along with, I walk away.
i have been writing since i was 11 years old.

PHILOSOPHY

I am not dead yet!
That means I need to take advantage of all the time I have to experience everything I can.
Hopefully, making a positive, lasting impression on everyone I meet.
You can not have great perspective on who you are and what you have until you have opened your mind to new ideas and seen everything you can see.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to get familiar with the website first.
Then, I would like to make contacts with people all over the world.
I want to travel the whole world and try to make a contribution in each place I stop. Also, I would like to learn from the culture and people there so I can write about what I have learned and hopefully educate people.
I would also like to be the go-between for people on the site to further make an extensive and positive bond for the CS2 community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to use couchsurfing.com, but I have successfully traveled a fair amount in the U.S. by couch surfing at my friends and family's houses.
