About Me

Introvert but caring.
Living simply and doing some volunteer works.

I am half local of Hangzhou (a city I love and also hate). Always can find something new to visit but also love its classic.

Studied in multiple countries. Also have many travel experiences in China and in EU (60+cities in China and 30+ countries). Really fascinated by differences between cultures and similarities between humans. Always interested in interpersonal relationships.

I could be…
Content writer & editor / Community Operator / Digital Marketer / Teaching Assistant / First Responder

Collecting fridge magnets and tote bags from everywhere and my collections are becoming huge…but they are pretty that I can’t resist…if you also interested in these and will visit my place, let’s make some exchanges.

I admire every solo traveller so if you are a girl travel by your own, I will definitely try to help!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet, experience and create a boarder world.
I’ve travelled a lot. I’ve slept in all kind of places. I’ve visited forests, beaches and big cities and stayed with friends.
I am being cared, loved and blessed.

When I was new to this community I received so many kindness. So I just hope to do something in return.
And actually, I found myself enjoying being a host and share my space and meet amazing friends just as you. I really enjoyed the kindness and warmth from surfers, it’s like the world travels to my place.

As a host, I am the core member of a local youth community in my hometown. Currently, we are running a craft beer bar in city centre and a co-living community in another city. You can get the access to almost any kinds of local social activities and youth events through that.

Feel free to reach out and I will try to help.
