#BACK TO CHINA AT THE END OF FEB.2017#
I am a graduate student who majored in Finance in Xiamen University, China. I used to be in a military school for 5 years and went though some toughness and training. I am now having an exchange semester in Humboldt University in Berlin.

Love traveling and making friends. I have been to many cities in China, and eager to explore more out of China now. I plan to surf all over Europe during my stay, and also host some nice guys when I am stuck with the study in Berlin.
(Remember to read the information about my home if you want a host from me)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

AS A GUEST
I enjoy exploring new things in my life, traveling is just one of the most important way. Couchsurfing makes a travel more than just going around places of interest. By interacting with the CSers I may find some inspiration about life, it makes good sense to me.

AS A HOST
1) I like the idea of inviting the world to my room when I don't have enough time to travel all over the world.
2) And I like to help poor travelers just like me. I don't mind if you just take me as a free hostel as long as you are polite and keep my room clean. It's not a obligation to talk a lot with me since sometimes I am also quite busy with my stuffs.
3) I try to stick to the original idea of CS to use it as a culture exchange and helping travelers, but not a dating website. So it is better to show me you are interesting rather than beautiful pictures.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

My experience as a cadet in the military school could be something amazing. I've gone through some tough military training during that days, and ever handled Mortar and some other small arms.

What could be more amazing is that I quitted my military career and started a brand new chapter in Finance after five years in it.

I took a longest travel to Tibet after 56 hours of train without a seat in 2013. But it turned out to be the most amazing travel that I ever had.

I rode bike through the most dangerous road, Suhua Highway, in Taiwan, 2016, and enjoy the most beautiful scenery of Pacific Ocean along the road.

教，学，和分享

I can cook some nice Chinese food, and am eager to learn some recipes of western food. I enjoy cooking some nice dishes with my host or guest, and have some interesting talks during the meal.

Yeah, I also got a black belt of Taekwondo, can show you some if you like.
