About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am on here guys but I sometimes don't check as often as I like. With all the new features the site gets confusing bc I am not on a lot. I havent updated my bio in awhile either.

ABOUT ME

Hello, I am Wu and I am currently teaching english in South Korea. I was born in Beijing, China and then moved to New York City during the late eighties. Moved around a bit and by the time college came I went to three more schools later on. I am a pretty laid back person. Not really into the finish school, find a good job, get married , by a house, retire thing. I think there is more to life than this. And I think life is so short for us to stay in one place. We are only a dot in this time line.through this insignicant life that we all have I find what is most significant about life.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to capture the each moment of life and maximizing it because it will never come back again. Living with a purpose. Curious about the future that is to come!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to meet cultured people who have a passion for soaking up the world as much as I do. Maybe it can be hanging out, being hosted or hosting. I can also learn a lot of different things from their experience of the world. Currently I am in South Korea so if you are around the way, shoot me a line!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I signed up this a long time ago but never got the chance to finish this. Aside from couch surfing I have met friends from different parts of the world who were nice enough to host me and vice versa. Spent time in tokyo, rio de janiero and as I write today, staying a friend's place in Stockholm, Sweden, whom I met while on a whale watching trip to Mexico.

Interests

The exciting part: I love to travel on the cheap because I am far from rich in money but really rich in life. not sitting in an office, not working in the same place doing the same boring thing. I enjoy running, riding my bicycle, read, photography, sign language and writing my journal as I paint my life.
