I was born in China but emigrated to Slovakia in the 1990s. Together with my wife and our three children we live in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.

I studied environmental Sciences in the university and postgraduate school with a master of science degree. Worked as a programmer and later in a travel agency. In my spare time I like reading: novels, history and philosophy are my favorite. I love poetry and writing poems is one of my hobbies.

I like cooking especially Chinese food. l'd love to cook together with my CS hosts or teach them to cook some super tasty Chinese food.

I am a volunteer helping immigrants in my country for several years. I have been offering free classes of Chinese language to many people. I like people, all lives and our nature. I like to live a sustainable and minimalist life style with the purpose to protect our only planet.

I like making friends from different countries. I simply love people. I believe in humanity.

My philosophy: I have no time to worry or to be sad, I just want to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love history, different cultures and foreign languages ever since I was a child. With Souchsurfing I can have the most interaction with the locals so I can learn directly from them their history, cultures and languages.
