Hi there! My name is Chu Chu, and I'm from China, currently studying photography in London. As an INFJ, I may be a bit introverted, but I truly value deep connections and meaningful conversations. Friends often describe me as kind-hearted, respectful, and cheerful, with a genuine love for meeting new people and exploring different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I want to immerse myself in the local life of the places I visit, rather than just being a tourist. I believe that connecting with locals is the best way to understand the true essence of a place. Couchsurfing offers a unique opportunity to stay on a welcoming couch and exchange stories and experiences with like-minded people. I cherish this chance for mutual learning and respect, making travel more enriching and memorable.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love photography books for their creative inspiration, mystery novels for their intriguing plots, and philosophy books for deep reflections on life. I’m particularly fond of “About Time” for its romantic and fantastical elements and “Friends” for its lighthearted humor. I believe kindness and respect are the most beautiful bonds between people, whether in everyday life or while traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my most rewarding experiences was participating in a long-term project with a non-profit organization, where I helped a class of students develop their leadership skills. Building trust with these students and seeing their growth and confidence was incredibly fulfilling. This experience not only deepened my understanding of storytelling through photography but also allowed me to meet many passionate and kind-hearted individuals.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm excited to share my photography skills and knowledge with you. If you're interested in photography, image editing, or creative projects, I'd love to explore and collaborate with you. I’m also eager to learn about your interests and hobbies, and I’m open to discovering new things from you. Additionally, I have a passion for trying different foods and immersing myself in diverse cultures, so I’d be happy to share my travel stories and culinary adventures with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Beyond sharing my photography expertise, I can tell you fascinating anecdotes and stories from my travels. I enjoy discussing ideas and viewpoints, so if you're interested, we can chat about life, art, or any topic that piques your curiosity. I respect different perspectives and am always keen to listen to your stories. If you have some free time, I’d be glad to assist with any photography tasks or explore London’s hidden gems together.
