Hello! I'm Kelly, born and raised in Hong Kong. I have always been intrigued by different languages as it always has so much to say for the people who use that language and the country that embraces it. I'm trying to make the most out of my university days to travel before I settle down to work for the decades to come.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently an exchange student in France and would like to explore Europe as much as I can. The best way to know about the country is to meet its people ! That's why I would like to give couchsurfing a try in my cultural exchange. Despite having an American accent, I'm very into Chinese traditions, like feng shui, chinese medicines, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Ukraine! First time being away from home for 6 weeks, met the most amazing people (Shout out to the Ukrainians) Being able to teach them English was wonderful as they really don't take things for granted and give their all to everything they do, especially when they're hosting guests! Honestly, I've gained so much more from them that's why I'm going back this year after 2 years !

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cantonese! A language that is known specifically in the Guangdong region but it is dying down!
