Hi! My name is Ayla. I am from China. I live in Qingdao, a coastal city in the east. I am a Chinese teacher. I like reading, learning English, watching movies, working out, and studying psychology. I think it is very important to discover your talents and know what you are good at. Do what you want to do and don't have any regrets when you are on your deathbed. Listen to your heart and focus on personal growth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Actually, I am not the type to travel around. I devoted my time to my family and work before. Now I think I should go and see a bigger world. I not only want to see the scenic spots but also get to know the local life and culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite song is ‘ how long will I love you’ from Ellie Goulding. The lyrics are extremely romantic and touching, and the melody is also very melodious.
One of my favorite movies is ‘split’. The male lead played many roles in the movie and showed different personality traits in each of them.
One of my favorite books is ‘The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook’. I think this book is very useful to help people to control their emotions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think I am brave to end my marriage of 15 years. It is not easy to get divorced in China.
