Hi, this is Cici.
A … crazy and interesting… human being.
Used to live, travel, study, work in four continents.. well..still doing it now…
Indulged in language, culture, spiritual practices, exploring, …food… cooking, psychology, philosophy, yoga, debating, adventures….
An educator, peace lover, translator and interpreter, IT specialist, photographer…

About traveling, I am a nature lover, into places with water, animals and … a lot of sunlights. Second favorite is historical architectures, museums and libraries, besides… local farmers market… nothing would be more exciting than find out some weird stuffs from bizarre square. lol. traveling for me is more about healing, self-talk, seeing yourself in diverse cultural environments and living without disguise, being honest, real, bubbly…like a kid, observing and talking in everything around you, like rebirth, connecting with the local, experiencing like a local, hugging the one from no matter what race, skin color, background, as a human being.

I would describe myself as an open minded individual. Brainstorm? Welcome. Also, a good listener, with… sometimes deadpan face hummer. Then, a good company and friend in your trip, I would be more than happy to show you around if I am available, or offer traveling suggestions.

For me, life is about experiencing the moment and learning life wisdom, to love your people and be grateful about being loved.

My life story is about breaking limitations, living out of convention and discrimination, being resilient and putting myself together again and again after long dark night, getting rebirth from desperation, then smile back to the world.

Like attracts alike.
Looking for good energy friends.
Let’s connect and cheer for life miracles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet different people, listen to stories and make friends.
Human beings all have beautiful sides, having the same desire to live better, the same intention to be happy and healthy, sometimes feel anxiety, fears, sadness. I have gone through and I know what is that. It’s lonely to be just yourself, having things to share with others making our days more colorful.
So be my friend! Doesn’t matter your skin color, your past or the future.
Show me your true color and let’s run under the sunlight with hands on the air!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

How to define amazing things… life is amazing. God is amazing… in my understanding this section is about me getting out of the comfort zones, tearing down fears, making the impossible possible, and leaving something in my life book:
hitchhiked from the west vietnam to the east all the way to chinese border.. as well as reached out thumb in the middle of the road then made connections with people all the way, in three continents.
swam at midnight in the ocean…
Danced on the mountain top under the full moon…
Sat on the top of the Jeep among bumpy narrow roads…
Slept in the airport for three days…
Met my future husband in the CS hitching activity…
Also ran away from the life sets of family, saying no to taboos and building up my castle to show a girl is possible to wake up from the sleep mass and asking more to stand up and live the full of life…

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to share things about asian cultures, Chinese philosophy. Other things may include photography, dancing, singing, painting... you pick… happy to teach anything I know.

If we will be able to cook together, I can make you nice cuisines, learning local food is my joy while traveling. Would be very creative when having the inspiration shock… somehow cooking a thanxgiving meal in a normal day to shock my husband after work is not new…
Also if you can also pass some secret recipes to me, you are making my day!

If you have no camera shy, you can always be my best model! just be yourself I can portrait you and capture your moments!
