Hey!!! My name is Yawen:) I'm a student/artist/photographer/animal lover/podcast listener/volunteer/big fan of gastronomy/plant lover/talk lover/performer/reader/bad singer/dancer without talent/dreamer...(to be discoverd...)

But i prefer to identity myself a confused person, i think living is the way to find answers, a lot of answers reply to my questions.

"...to thine own self be true, thou canst not then be false to any man..."from William Shakespeare is my favorite sentence. I want to be a person who is true to herself and to others.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

My story of couchsurfing

At first, i started couchsurfing for saving money to travel. The first destination is Switzerland. Amazing country, Amazing people and view. My friend and i enjoyed a lot the first three days. We meet the Family of Roland. They are so nice. Then an accident happened. I was sended to intense care, and my friend was badly hurt too. I've lost my memory of this accident, and became weak. Luckily, i went out hospital one day after. Roland and his wife took very good care of us even order us a chinese meal. We are so moving by these days after our accident. And so thankful to them then we spend more time together. It's such a meaningful trip to me , not only because i have met Roland and his family ,but also i changed my career since then. Been so close to death, makes me think more about my life and what i want to do. Then i start to apply for an art school and finally i did it.

It's a start for me to finding myself. And i started to try my best to help others. I don't want to say thay i love travel and meeting people. Everyone says that. But this experience really changed my life.I really appreciate this experience.

i think lyric is most important to me in a song. I have difficulties in telling which genre it belongs to since I have no boundary and i'm always ready to discover. I don't hate popular music because i think it's a way to discover what the most part of people like.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm really fascinated by profond discussions and I would be glad to share with hosts different views on culture and society.

If you are also a gourmand that would be fantastic, It's always been my pleasure to share with hosts some simple, basic but typical Chinese food(I've just progressed a lot because of studying abord :)
