Always curious about the world and ready to explore more!

Traveling alone since teenager time (though I'm still lol) around nearly half of China and neighboring countries. I never set a goal like "travel around the world" because I know it's a natural thing for me, I am born to travel lol.
Newbie bushwalker (hiker), just finished 104km long Great Ocean Walk alone and plan to finish all Top 100 trail on Walkopedia (https://www.walkopedia.net/100-best.asp)
Also, I finished a gap year travel around Eurasia ( South-Eastern Aisa, Middle East, Caucasus countries and Russia) before I go to university, which is one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life and I'm very willing to share my stories : - ).

Currently, I am studying architecture in Sydney, Australia, and I plan to go exchange to Europe or Beirut (AUB) next year.

I'm an easy-going and open-mind person (though may seem to be shy at first lol), I consider myself a global citizen and keen to understand and experience different cultures. Love to try new things, and meet different people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a straight way to communicate with local people and experience their daily lifes and cultures. Understanding different people's idea and opinion from all over the world is very important to me.
