About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I wanna travel around world and meet people! Hiking around world's land! Scuba diving around world's oceans! Skydiving & paragliding around world sky!

ABOUT ME

After many years being crazy about my career, I decide to no longer be a workaholic but a lifelover. Follow my dream, and enjoy everyday. I love travel, cooking, reading. I love beautiful place, good food and nice people. I have been to over 60 countries in last 10 years, loved every trip of mine. About half of the time I travel alone, but I meet nice people everywhere and make many good friends on my trip. That's one of the most enjoyable thing for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm very easy going and fun person. I've traveled a lot also I'm planing a lots of traveling in the coming years. I always love to meet local and learn the country & city not only by look but also by real people stories. How the people live there life, what do they think about their country and everything, where do they go for weekend and holidays. For me the purpose on CS is to open a window to see the real people more close. Especially if I have limited time in one place, I'd like to meet CS friends or stay at a host, which is the best way for me to know this city or country in a short time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had great time with my host in my only and first CouchSurfing experience.
I normally sleep late, but I can adjust my schedule with you and being very quiet if you want.
I have had some new friends who I met online come to CS in my last home in Beijing, including local Chinese from Chinese Shafake website and some foreign friends from this CS website. I made good friends with my guest, and I believe all of my CS guest enjoyed time of my host.

Interests

I'm a pipeline engineer, stay at work site a lot, so I use to be close to nature and travel all the time. Beside of traveling, I love yoga, scuba diving, sky diving, paragliding, mountain hiking, ice climbing
I love beach and sunshine, amazing landscape, also interested in architecture, history, music, arts, and the different cultures.
At home I enjoy reading and cooking everyday. Good books attract me as much as good food!

Teach, Learn, Share

I do HIIT and Yoga to keep my body super fit. I can share my exercise experience with you.
I'd also love to share my funny travel stories and learn your stories. Also music and singing, dancing.
I'm currently learning Spanish. It'd be fantastic if meet someone can teach me some and practice with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to hear host's stories and also share my travel experience and cooking skills.
If it's possible I'd love to cook some Chinese food for this host. I'm a vegetarian so I could only cook some vegetables, but I can make vegetables super tasty and I don't mind other people eat meat or fish at all.
