Hello! Nihao!
I grew up in a beautiful city called Yantai in east coast China, spent winter and summer times in the countryside with my grandparents. Those combined small city and country life formed pretty childhood memories and shaped who I am today.

Later I went to Shanghai for college and stayed there for 5 years.
I'm currently living in Boston area in the US. Working as a software developer.

My story with Couchsurfing started in 2014, when I traveled to Australia, South East Asia, and many Chinese cities. During those times, I feel connected to the world and want to share who I am, where I'm from with you.
You can find more about me in descriptions below.

At age of 7, a friend of mine bought a box of chocolate. The merchandise might get the idea from Forrest Gump, that for each pack, there's a small paper with a sentence on it. I opened mine, read the words inside, and have remembered them ever since

I want to share it at the end here:
Open your arms to change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the love of world and connection. And meet more awesome people like you!
