Hey, I'm Minyu (Ellen). I was born and raised in Shanghai, China but am currently exchanging in Madrid, Spain for 5 months. (I've planned to travel around Europe alone after the finals!)
I am a student of Spanish Literature and Business Administration and am really planning to go for a master in business!
I am a foodie! Food is an important part during my travel even in my life.
An open-minded and proactive girl, definitely willing to embrace different culture. Want to be a WORLD CITIZEN.
My first self-planned trip aborad was a 20-day trip to Australia. I even went to Darwin!! It was so amazing!
I'm an AIESECer (AIESEC is a worldwide student-run NGO haha). Planning to go to Mexico this summer for a 6-week volunteer work!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is not only about sightseeing but also about building connection. I believe the best way is to communicating with local people. Couch surfing provides people this amazing opportunity!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Chinese if you are interested in learning haha.
Not really good at cooking but I'm keen on making healthy and simple food for myself so we can learn from each other!
I love communicating with people and know more about the local things! Planning to learn a new language maybe French/Italian/German... I met a cute host in Rome and she taught me some simple rules of photography and I loved it!
These days I try to Vlog and am going to learn video editing.
I enjoy sharing my thoughts and experiences and really want to hear stories from others. I believe every experience matters.
