Hello! I'm Bettina from China and currently studying for my master in Germany.
I'm a passionate, communicative and open-minded person who enjoys nature, arts and good company. I like having inspiring conversations and doing interesting activities with a diverse range of people, sharing each other's lifestyle, passions and way of processing the world.
I'm new to CS and currently traveling around Germany and Europe, hoping to meet some of you guys and make some wonderful memories together :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- To get to know and make friends with interesting people, sharing each other's stories, opinions and passions
- To take a deeper look into my travel destinations and their cultures and lifestyles

Interests

- writing (mostly poems and essays)
- literature (my all-time favourite author is Milan Kundera, but I'm currently focusing on sci-fi literature, for instance the works from Ted Chiang, Issac Asimov and Arthur Clark)
- singing (I also love instrumemts but don't really know how to play, only started to learn Ukulele recently)
- photography (mostly nature, landscapes and architectures)
- graphic design (making posters and covers in particular)
- sports (hiking, camping, canoeing and anything that involves being in nature)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once went camping under -15°C on the snow land on top of a mountain in the middle of December. It was a night of the Geminid meteor shower. We made some barbecues around the campfire, went sledding and watched a clear sky of shooting stars, which to me was epic.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I don't really feel like I have any expertise on things so maybe just the Chinese language, cultural knowledge and if possible, cooking methods
Learn:
- whatever you feel free to teach or share with me, for example an introduction to an instrument or your opinions on things
- your secret family recipe ;)
Share:
My singing voice and other interests, my stories and my way of processing the world :)
