A book (The Disappeared Year) I read in senior high school brought me here. So far my Couchsurfing experience has gone way beyond solely adventurous travel and culture exploration. ABSOLUTELY grateful that I met many brilliant people through this site. Kinda feeling like an echo chamber! I hosted for a while when I lived in Bath (in the southern England) and was hosted in the UK, Germany, Austria, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania.

MUSIC Open to all kinds of music. Always thrilled to something new! Big fan of jazz, blues, rock, indie pop, and classical music. Have a deep emotional bonding with all kinds of traditional music. Learned to play both western and eastern musical instruments since childhood: I play the piano, clarinet and Guzheng (also known as a Chinese zither).
