CURRENT MISSION

Meet people from different walks of life.

ABOUT ME

I was a production engineer for 12 years in the semiconductor industry and existed the industry in 2009. After that, I became a math and physics tutor for two years. And decided to join the education industry.

Now I am a teacher assistant at a high school. My role is to assist teachers in many areas. For example, classroom management, action research and lesson planning.

PHILOSOPHY

Lead a happy and fulfilling life as we all only get to live once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I read a book on CS experiences which is written by an author who lives in Paris. He is a yoga therapist and travels whenever he could. How I wish to meet him in Paris and learn from him personally.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a backpacker since 1996 and I have had my 1st CS experience in May 2011. It happened in the North island of New Zealand. Meeting local people and learning about the lives were amazing experiences.

Interests

Reading non-fiction books, listening to Mozart, jogging on the beach, working on maths' problems with kids, and learning to lead a better life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First of all, I run away from home and took flights to Oklahoma City in Dec 1995. I spent almost four years in Oklahoma State University and traveled to various states like Texas, Kansas, and Illinois. That was the real experience I learned to carry a backpack and travel alone on foot and Greyhound bus.
Next, I wish to travel to all major cities in Asia and Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic Chinese if you are interested. I can share Buddhism philosophy. My own life stories are not interesting so I need to learn from other people about life.
