About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life more, jump out of the old comfort zone!

ABOUT ME

Always got stuck when asked to "describe myself" LOL. Well, I love traveling and experience all different kinds of culture on this amazing planet. Grew up in a conservative little town, I found my way out, trying to explore the colorful world and meet interesting people of all kinds! It is fantastic experience to see how they live their lives and blend in.
PS, I'm a bit shy so sometimes you may find me kinda quiet, still working on that. And I'm silly sometimes, not working on that;-)
PPS, I'm terrible with numbers and directions; not a typical Asian when it comes to maths, and get lost all the time when traveling alone, but this also leads me to some surprisingly interesting places.

PHILOSOPHY

Take it easy.

''There's nothing you can't fuck up if you try hard enough.'' OOps

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Went to a Saturday CS meet-up after starting a new life in Shanghai, trying to make some friends here, it turned out to be a great fresh experience to me, the CSers are so kind and we talked a lot about traveling around the world and life in Shanghai. The community helped me made new friends, and I really started to love the city and enjoy my life here!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to CouchSurfing, also new to Shanghai. Definitely hope to meet more people and be able to host soon.
