Hey there!

I'm Alicia Lin, a 24-year-old traveler and language enthusiast from China 🇨🇳

Currently, I’m pursuing my master of educational studies in Belgium 🇧🇪

🌟 What I Love:

🗣️ Languages & Culture
I speak Mandarin Chinese, English, Thai and simple Korean, now I’m learning Spanish and I’d love to learn some phrases in your language!

🌿 Adventure & Nature
I’m passionate about hiking, scuba diving, and outdoor exploration.

🏋️‍♀️ Cooking & Fitness
I enjoy cooking food from different cultures and staying active with workouts.

🎥 Creative Storytelling
I edit travel vlogs and aspire to be a content creator~

🌎 Global Exchange
I believe that traveling is about the connections you make, and I love sharing stories, learning new perspectives, and making unforgettable memories along the way.

🧘🏼 Meditation & Teachings of the Buddha
I’ve been learning the teachings of the Buddha for a year since I was in Thailand. I do meditation regularly and can share some insightful thoughts about it:)

Looking forward to meeting you!🤩

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I was born and raised in China and I don't have many chances to talk to people from all around the world.🥹

But after I went to Thailand, I realized what’s the real world and how charming it is to talk with the local and know their culture. 💕

I love traveling and plan to live abroad, I found CS is super nice to me to have more international friends and know more about the world.

And for me, traveling is about people, not just places. CS is a good way to meet amazing souls, exchange cultures, and create meaningful experiences.

I love deep conversations, spontaneous adventures, and sharing travel stories over a good meal.

音乐、电影和书籍

As for music, I love Mandopop, especially 陶喆 (David Tao), 张震岳 (Chang Chen-yue), 方大同 (Khalil Fong), 陈奕迅 (Eason Chan), and 林俊杰 (JJ Lin).
Their music blends R&B, soul, and pop in a unique way🎵
