I am a postgraduate student currently studying Communication in Shanghai, with a focus on intercultural communication. After my first solo trip to Japan, I found my passion for exploring the world and started to become a backpacker. I wanted to learn about the lifestyles of people in different cultures, and in the process, I tried to break out of the constraints or blind spots of my own cultural framework to truly find my own way of life and construct a meaning for my own existence (I think it can also be a mutual thing).
I used to travel by staying in hostels in the hope of interacting with all sorts of people, and I loved it, but it's hard to connect with people in depth in hostels, but I think couchsurfing solves this problem perfectly and helps me to a large extent to really understand different people's lifestyles.
Aside from backpacking, I usually enjoy reading, working out (as an amateur), photography, playing console games, and mixing cocktails (even though I'm not a very good drinker hhhh)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share interesting experiences and beautiful landscapes I've seen during my backpacking trips, as well as discuss in-depth topics about mass media and how we can break out of the information cocoon (which is my major about), and if you want we can also talk about the meaning of life with each other and see how people from different cultures see the value of life.
