About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn Chinese, travel the world and work on my career

ABOUT ME

Previously, I lived in Thailand and worked as an elementary school teacher after that I was a college instructor in four Chinese provinces. Now I'm working as a CEO assistant for a Chinese company in Beijing.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever you do in life try to enjoy it! If you want to enjoy it, it will be enjoyable. It's all in your head! We are living a very alternative lifestyle according to our friends and family. But this is paradise. Make up your mind and create your own paradise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

love to host as well as be hosted by CSers. have had some great experiences with all kinds of CSers from all over the world. have also made an effort to participate in many different ways close to and far from home. We would like to go to the Xiamen CS meetings, but somehow the timing never seems to match our schedule, unfortunately. in Beijing went to a CS barbecue. Even if I can not stay or host anyone, I still enjoy getting together for a tea.
