ABOUT ME

out-going, down to earth, communicative

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I won't be able to get to know the culture and spirit of a country/city I'm visiting by staying in a hotel room and doing the bog-standard tour of the country/city suggested in the travel guide. Plus, I love meeting knew people, especially the open-& liberal-minded kind.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

When I was 16 years old, I felt it was about time to go see the world and especially places different from the environment I grew up in. So I decided to go live in China for one year, go to a regular Chinese high-school there and live with a Chinese family. I still feel very lucky about having had the opportunity to make this once in a lifetime experience at such an early age.

教，学，和分享

Quotes I love and which reflect my way of thinking:

"What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us." -Helen Keller

"It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any." -Hugh Laurie

"I think that one of these days... you're going to have to find out where you want to go. And then you've got to start going there. But immediately. You can't afford to lose a minute. Not you." - J.D. Salinger

"Find joy in everything you choose to do. Every job, relationship, home ... it's your responsibility to love it, or change it." - Chuck Palahniuk

"Ask yourself if you would do it if nobody ever see it, if you would never be compensated for it, if nobody ever wanted it. If you come to a clear 'yes' in spite of it, then go ahead and don't doubt it anymore." - Ernst Haas

"The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live." - Auguste Rodin
