About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore Europe during my three-month stay!

ABOUT ME

A Chinese student on his first trip to Europe! Danny wanna visit some famous cities here and make some friends.
One of the most exciting things is getting involved in the local life of Europe. Live like a European. That is why I choose couch-surfing for my journey!
I love pets, even though I don't keep one... I love liquor but it is forbidden for me according to my doctor's words.. I love exploring Europe and Nobody could stop me!

PHILOSOPHY

Experience is like a battlefield, you earned it.
OK... I have to admit I didn"t think through it very clear... But I guess this is what life means, trying to find ur own personal philosophy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After some boring nights in the hostels I didn't feel like part of the city. I hate being a complete tourist and rushing to museums and ticket office. Then I started to think why not live and talk with the locals. Then I joined couch-surfing, hoping to find someone with same interest and to make some friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No cs exp so far.. But I hosted some friends in my hometown and university. I didn"t know this website until I met new friends in Europe. Then I found out it must be exciting exp to stay with local. I hope I could share good memories with you.

Interests

Boating, Riding Bicycle, Hiking, Arts and Music (Museums excluded...), (Liquor.. Bars with great live bands), etc..
I love riding bicycles in the city of my uni. The natural scenery is very similar with some small towns in Europe. Usually I will go around by bike and have a drink in the bar at nightfall.

Music, Movies, and Books

Shawshank Redemption. This movie is really classic but it is definitely the best movie I have ever seen. I am a fan of movie, and during the four year study at college, I"ve watched more than a hundred movies.. Shawshank Redemption has sooo many metaphors that I cannot figure all of them out till even today.
I like pop music and Chinese classical music. My favorite singer is a HKer named 'Eason Chen'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done so far is actually being done at present - undertaking an internship in Germany for three month. It is not often the case because I am a enrolled master student in China. It is not really easy for me to get this opportunity. Furthermore, travelling in Europe is one of the most important things on my to do list. I have never imagined this objective is reached before my graduation!

Teach, Learn, Share

whether teaching or learning, it might be the best way to accomplish by sharing. I'd like to share with you the Chinese culture (including the food, because I found Germans really love Asian food, aha). moreover, I wanna learn some interesting facts about the local life. e.g. I was told that in some German families, they even have a television in the kitchen!
