ABOUT ME

A traveler, photographer, and an Engineer, working Monday to Friday in the office and travel 24 times a year during the weekends, holidays and vacations.
Born in China, graduate school and working in the US. I take every opportunity to travel, take pictures of the nature, cities and people.
I am a very quiet person, no smoking, no drinking. I like reading, learn different things, share life experience with friends ^^

PHILOSOPHY

Love God; Love people; Enjoy life~

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

4 months ago, one of my friend found a host in CS and I joined the trip. And now (07/2013) this is my first time to use CS myself. Hopefully meet some great friends here ^^
Update: today(08/19/2014) is the 1st day back to CS as a host, since I move to a bigger apt and have 2 big sofa now. LOL~

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

basically the 1st time since 07/2013. (I requested as a surfer to Mexico city, but the volcano erupted and my flight got canceled, twice...)
And 2nd time since 08/2014...
