Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I made my account to search some couches in Shanghai in 2011. Temporarily, I'm using CS for surfing and finding people to hang out although I love hosting travelers as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friend’s giving birth : When one of my closest friends had a delivery, I accompanied her to a midwife’s place(not a clinic/hospital!). She had a labor in tatami floored room(Japanese traditional and typical room). I took her photos but I couldn’t adjust the focus because of my tears. How beautiful, amazing, and powerful a moment of birth is!!

Teach, Learn, Share

How to wear kimonos : Wearing kimonos is one of my hobbies even though I need to learn more skills and knowledge about it. Actually, kimonos are comfortable and adjustable. And I try to chose ethnic clothes and fair trade clothes to protect environment, culture and human rights.
