20 years total work experience, combined with living in Qingdao this many years, I am now owning and operating my own service company to help foreigners coming to Qingdao in a variety of ways.

PHILOSOPHY

Cell phones OFF in the cinema,..thank you!!.
Organization decreases confusion.
The higher up you go, fewer go with you.
If you don't care what you look like, who will?
Don't talk to me until I had my coffee..for your safety, haha...not joking.
Answering my phone is a choice, not a mandate.
Quality over quantity in everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I attend the Monday night meetings, and communicate with people on Wechat, LinkedIn.com, and I help people make new friends of the same interests as their hobbies, work, or business.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few couchsurfing meetings before my summer vacation, but then got too busy to maintain it. Now, I attend the regular event to welcome and support others. I appreciate their energy and enthusiasm, for this is truly a friendly group. :)

Interests

My interests are in helping new foreigners to adapts to Chinese culture; and to help Chinese to communicate and understand foreigners better for friends or business. I'm a facilitator, communicator, networker, and business owner. People from everywhere are my interest.
