PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think CS is one of the really great ways to make friends from all over the world. To me it's simple, I join to meet all the inspiring people that share ideas that are new to me, and I believe this could help me get out of the comfort zone at times.

To be honest, If you get a chance to meet me (host, surf, or just drinks), you could find me more friendly than just reading my profile (sometimes I am too lazy to write up my profile).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some of my great experiences are from surfing. This does not mean I am a bad host, just that there are really many enthusiastic and amazing CS folks. Some memorable moments:

- Received a big welcome BBQ feast organized by a host and a lot of her family members.
- Really authentic food cooked by hosts from different countries: Indian, Pakistani, Swedish ...
- Experienced indoor hot sauna following by outdoor lying on snow at -30 degrees in Arctic circle.

AWESOME!

Interests

Fancy to Sports. I can't stop for long doing nothing. I need to have exercise. I like most of the ball games, except snooker I think? But it doesn't mean I hate that, maybe I am just not good at that. Volleyball is my favourite.

Go and explore the nature!

Music, Movies, and Books

Yeh, I am not really a good reader, always stop half way when reading on a book. However, I do like reading series like national geographic.

Music,errrr, no specific type of music I don't like, except some metallic. Sometimes also to pop music in Taiwan, guess not so familiar to most couchSurfers, lol. With streaming becoming easy, nowaways I always listen to random music that can chill.
