About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Creating something new in 2014!

ABOUT ME

Try to be free...

I am serious about many things, but I also enjoy talking a lot and laughing loudly with friends.

I am kind of naive because I simply think people mean what they say, or they say what they mean.

I normally have too high expectation for many things but I am trying to adjust.

I always pursue logic and reasons unconsciously.
But according to my friends, I am surprisingly spontaneous as well.

I do not have much sense of nationality, and I am certainly not a typical patriotic person either.

I am open to any ideas and theories, but I have to warn you that it is not easy to convince me at all.

Warning: I can be very judgmental with some behavior and impatient with certain kind of people sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted and surfed. I am trying to host and meet more people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend Tol told me how cool CS is and I joined this big family in 2007. I hosted Eduard from Spain and we became very good friends.

I traveled in Germany, Czech, Austria, Italy, Spain and France this autumn (2008). I surfed at Seba&Maggie's, Andrea's in Wien,Riccardo's in Firenze,Fabian's in BCN, Fridique's in Paris, those are all great people and friends that I would like to meet again.

Interests

Go hiking once a month; go to gym twice a week; stretch everyday, hereby including giving a stretch on bed; do not drink much cocktails or beers any more,a sip once for a while is OK, wine is always a good idea; cook when I am in a very good mood,do not go to night bars/pubs very much any more, but still would like to bring people to those places and drop them there; I am more adapt to "old" people's life style.

I enjoy just sitting there doing nothing, maybe with some music and some good drinks. Aslo,talking, laughing, eating, reading, writing, sleeping...

Note that I have great passion for food and red wine!

Music, Movies, and Books

God Father and all the movies expressed romantism with some depth of sadness...

I also watch lots of American stuff, Boston Legal, The Big Bang Theory, Criminal Minds,West Wing, Sex and the City, Lost, Seinfeld, Friends...

Almost any genres of music except I don't understand RAP very well, maybe you can help me with it.

Normally I read more fictions than any other books, I do have plans to read thick heavy books though!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned swimming, and it is considered as a great achievement of mine!

I set myself free from a cozy pond and started some adventure in the ocean of life.

Finally I'm fluent in Spanish.

I worked and lived in Africa for 14 months!

Learning French now.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn new languages & culture and will try to participate in art personally when I comprehend them better.

Share things I have/know with people.

P.S. I can cook very delicious Chinese food and I am also told that I am very creative at it!

Countries I’ve Visited

Andorra, Austria, Belgium, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Mongolia, Spain, Thailand, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In
