Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I was not originally socially active, yet I have always interest in human kind. I love this program that provides me the kaleidoscopic perspective to know people from different parts of the world, to give and take kindness, something essential and beyond the monetary value system.
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: thought-provoking, with beautiful cinematography ; Music: Classic, Icelandic, Instrumental, Atmospheric, Piano, anything that transmits poetry or inspiration in the air; Books: Children picture books, Margaret Atwood, Sylvia Plath poems and Anything written out of authenticity or good purpose.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I have not yet done really that amazing thing, but one thing may be significant to my life changing is in 2013 I quitted my editorial job from a state-owned publishing company and set on my journey to Sweden to be an au pair for a year and received incredible kindness and warmth there.
What I Can Share With Hosts
My awkward smiles for sure. I am very busy almost every day. I work full-time in a creative park, and after work I am busy drawing or researching on references for drawing. You can tell me what scene/field you are most interested in visiting in Shenzhen. Then I can arrange a route for you to explore :)
