Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think one of the most important thing of traveling is meeting amazing people, so we can learn, share and see the different part of the world~ Couchsurfing is a great way to know, share and explore other human beings. Where you see homes, personalities and beautiful lives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Nepal by myself when I was 17. The experience of coming back from Nepal to my home by land(southern china) during hot season was a great event to the adolescent me. It was really really hard! I faced lots of desperate moments and real life obstacles but also meet unexpected great people and miracles. It was solely a intriguing puzzle to me and I solved it.
But that was years ago...
um..... I need to find more challenges now.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to have conversations with different people just to talk about culture, philosophy, and travel experiences. To me, traveling is for learning. I have learned a lot about humanity, society, culture, people from my past traveling experiences. I would love to share my thoughts and my stories with you, and learn your stories as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts
