About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To know what kind of people I want to be.

ABOUT ME

Before my first time to travel alone to Xiamen, I was shy and quiet. However, Xiamen changed me a lot. I met different people through couchsurfing in Xiamen, every one of them has their own beliefs and their own personalities. I began to think of my own life, and began to think about what kind of person I want to be. I learned to be brave enough to hitchhike, to communicate with others, to share my ideas and to love my life! Also, travelling around the world becomes my dream. Although I am just a student and has no enough money to travel around the world, I will try my best to realize my dream. All in all, I love couchsurfing, I love travelling, I love my life! Hope to make more friends through courchsurfing:)

PHILOSOPHY

To live is to experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, I have had 3 couchsurfing experiences in China. The most impressive one was in Xiamen. It was my first time to couchsurf. The moment I entered my host's home, I was shocked. The wall was full of words from his guests.. Up to know, he has hosted over 350 guys. Since there is no blank left on the wall, some words were even written on the wall of bathroom! It is really amazing! Also, I met many wonderful people in his place. Some quitted their job to travel around China, some went to be volunteer to poor area, etc. Such kinds of people were only on the television or Internet in my life before. However, they actually appeared in my life. This experience changed my attitude toward life a lot. After that, I became a fan of couchsurfing and I also couchsurf when I travelled to Xitang and Jingdezhen. It is very great!

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to know different kinds of people through couchsurfing. Just as what I believe, to live is to experience more. To know different people's lives is also a good way to experience more. In couchsurfing, I am looking forward to making friends with you and listening to your wonderful stories!
