ABOUT ME

2018-Being a student again in the new area: early childhood education. Looking forward to build a work life balance future and playing around in different area: creative art, craft making, children's art education, DIY life etc...

2015-Stuck in work and take care my boyfriend in our working holiday trip. Sydney right now. Being train up after working in Asian people environment (it's even more pragmatic to learn to be a 'chinese' in Sydney but not my own home city- Hong Kong).

2012-I am a left hander, like to discover new things, start knowing new guy. I study visual art in university, but still learning to be a good art student after my graduate. I am finding something, but I don't know what is it yet.

PHILOSOPHY

2015-Not far different from now, but I understand more about the responsibility and way to strength up myself in hard circumstance.

2012-Finally, things will pass by, and I believe in causal relation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The powerful thing of Couchsurfing is it is out of MONEY!!
It's not about saving money (in fact it can) but more about the people's attitude.
When things comes out the money cycle, there is less about counting and guessing and lying and greedy mind. That shows different in:
1. Quickly you can see different by the first minutes you meet the Hotel reception and you meet the couchsufing host

2. Secondly you can feel the collection after stay coz you are not the customer in number but a mate in name, culture background, characteristic and everything is exchanging and flowing

3. At last you could see the different in memories, couchsurfing is always the top of the memory list in a trip over all

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
2015-1 :P

All I could tell is I actually need to do more Couchsurfing.

Once in Murich(2012), me and my friend stay in a lady's home.
We cooked her a meal and she bring us to try Schweinshaxe, Haribo's forg sweets collection, her friend's family and their German style breakfast and the crazy tent in Oktoberfest!!!!!

2012-0 :D

This is my first time to try CouchSurfing, but once I had live in a host in Mexico with local family. That time I found out that I am living in a rich family but parents with less time to be with their children, I guess that's why the family sign up to be a host family, receiving foreigner for their children. And bring a english environment into home as well.

The most strange moment is I and my friend were sleeping upstair, the family start quarrel but when we go downstair, they said everything is OK. We keep want to understand what they are saying while quarrel, but our spanish was too poor, and we keep imagine the context. /-\
