About Me

CURRENT MISSION

work all the time & waiting for my vocation

ABOUT ME

Well, I really do not like to show myself on website, I even don't have a blog or twitter whether you believe or not. But something occurs to me that when I wanted to search a couch in Paris last time, I couldn't find one,that changes my mind. Think in other's position, when you really need some help, how can a person show up when they know nothing about you?
Here I come. I was born in a quite nice city in China which has a name of "Spring city".I went to north of China for my university years as soon as I realize I am not fit for the culture of north. Then I chose a very beautiful seaside city---Xiamen to continue my graduate school study. My major is applied linguistics and the area is teaching Chinese as a second language. So then I tried apply to the Confucius Institute for teaching Chinese. I have to say it's really broaden my horizons when I stay in Europe. Now I am back in my hometown and work as a Chinese teacher in Yunnan Normal University.

PHILOSOPHY

To enjoy life but still hard working on something.
To remind myself to gratitude for everything I have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

First is a movie from Taiwan let me know there's some people called couchsurfer (沙发客in Chinese). After I lived in Wroclaw, one of my college mentioned that he found someone for exchanging language in couchsurfing then I remember this website again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To be honest, I havn't had any experience to live in anyone's couch. But we do host some people in our apartment.(me, my boyfriend and one college are sharing the apartment) However, they just looking for the couch through my boyfriend web. It's okay for me because I will go to experience my first couchsurfing soon. But it's my boyfriend's effort, whatever, hope everything goes well.
Updated: I've tried twice when I was in Germany!

Interests

I enjoy movie and painting.
Usually I like to go to cinema no matter there's no good movie for this week. I enjoy to fall into the story when everything is black except the screen. Of course, I also enjoy watching movie with close people, having snacks and juice.
When I was a primary students I began to read manga. Then I tried to paint till now.

Music, Movies, and Books

There's a movie I watch for many times “Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain”.I just like Amelie so much,a little naughty but always so kind to people.
When I was young there is one book I asked my dad to read for me everyday and my mom said she don't know why I never be bored of it. It's "Mary Poppins",the nanny flying by the southern wind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was following by a running Sun bear when I visited Emei Mountain in Sichuan province. On that day, the bear was brought there by some tour train. Unfortunately, the animal keeper just fell the rope of bear down and the bear began to run furiously. His target was in my direction and then somehow I and my cousin became the only target. When we were about breaking our breath, the keeper got the bear. Before we went back, we even took a picture with him for memory. The last thing I want to say is this is a true story, you know, anything could happen in this world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to know the people who have many experiences and I will be very enjoyable to listen to their wisdom in life and their adventures.
