About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Becoming more awesome everyday

ABOUT ME

A native Beijinger, a casual singer/songwriter and a devoted Tottenham Hotspur supporter would probably come up first if I have to tag myself. If you've watched "the Breakfast Club", you'll probably find traits of all of the kids in me. That's probably the boldest yet safest self-description that I can think of. To find out more, let's just meet up!

PHILOSOPHY

A man without moustache is rather like a woman with one - Nick Cave

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I'm pursuing my graduate degree in a small town near Paris called Jouy-en-Josas and I'm currently living in an individual dorm. However, if you don't mind taking the RER to Paris and can bring a sleeping bag, feel free to contact me:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been introduced to couchsurfing for about a year now, surfed in Norfolk(VA), Pittsburg, Nashville, and hosted several surfers from all over the world in my apartment close to Washington, DC area. Along with the meetings in Beijing, those have been some of the greatest experiences ever, each person brought a new sparkle to my life, and I'm eternally thankful for that.

Interests

Like bascially everyone here,I enjoy good music, films, books, comedy, and support my team passionately (Come On You Spurs!). I try to be a good cook and latin dancer as well. But the thing I enjoy the most will always definitely be to hear and share inspiring stories with interesting people from diverse background, and of course, traveling. On a side note, the art of making fun of Canada is also something I'd love to master :P
