Overview
About Me
I'm currently a student studying English literature and Communication & Media at University of Liverpool, UK. Being brought up in Chinese culture yet influenced by British education, I often see the world from different perspectives. Hey, "the world is my oyster". I'm ready!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To be honest, 99% of my journeys ended up checking in hotels. It's almost impossible to establish a deep connection with the locals if I choose to stay in my comfort zone. I hope to know the places better trough couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books
My fave music is Cornfield Chase, which appears as background music in the movie Interstellar.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A solo trip to Japan! I went to 5 great museums in a row! The nicest part of visiting different museums is I met many voluntary interpreters and exchanged my ideas of contemporary art with them. I then established friendship with local shop owners and even some retired people working in Japanese shrines!
Teach, Learn, Share
I love painting and playing the violin! And during the time I study in the UK, I usually teach my roommates to cook Chinese food. Oh, by the way, I can teach a bit of Chinese Kongfu if anyone's interested in oriental mysterious power lol!

i can share my experiences as a Mandarin and Cantonese native speaker, and my study life in the UK!
