💛 A good request for me is with “you don’t have to spend time on me”.
💛 I don’t care how many countries you have been. I care about what kind of person you are. The experience doesn’t mean anything. What really matters is how you interpret it. So don’t give me just facts, that’s not “you”. Surprise me in your way 👁️

💛 About Me
I’m a certified and experienced International Chinese teacher, a life coach, an ex Chinese–French translator, and a Buddhist practitioner.
People around me often describe me as:
kind yet distant, soft yet tough, rational yet emotional, easygoing yet strict, simple yet deep.
I resonate with all of these contradictions.
If I must describe myself:
I’m introverted, independent, brave, open-minded — a questioner, a learner, and someone who values clarity over comfort.
我是一个专业的国际中文教师、人生教练、前中法翻译，也是一名佛学修行者。别人常说我是善良又疏离、柔软又强硬、理智又感性的人。我认同这些复杂的特质。我是一个内向、独立、勇敢、开放的人，是提问者，也是学习者。

💛 My Inner Work
I’ve self-studied psychology for 3 years and supported many people through emotional work.
In 2025 I began Buddhist practice, integrating discipline, simplicity, and higher awareness into my daily life.
My path now is about:
seeing truth instead of pleasing narratives
living with clarity
reducing unnecessary desires
maintaining peace and self-control
I’m a communicator — not merely an input/output machine.
我自学了三年心理学，从 2025 年开始把佛学带入生活。我的方向是：看见真相、减少欲望、提升觉知、保持平和，我喜欢真正的交流，而不是单向的信息收集或输出。

💛 My Couchsurfing Philosophy

I believe couchsurfing started for two simple reasons: travelers wanting meaningful experiences on a low budget & locals wanting connection and curiosity about the world
For me, the only rule is:
everyone acts from free will, not obligation.
Clear communication > unspoken expectations.
对我来说：最重要的规则是“都基于自由意志，而不是义务”。告诉彼此真实期待，是最重要的。

💛 As a Host
You don’t need to impress me.
If you want to help, I’ll appreciate it.

I can offer:
* a place to shower, cook, sleep, work
* peaceful company
* local groups & community
* conversation when I have energy
(But none of these are duties or promises.)

What I need:
* my routine
* my private space
* quiet mornings
* clear boundaries
* No sex.
* No body-touching without explicit permission.
我提供基本空间和陪伴，但我需要维持自己的作息与界限。禁止性，也禁止未经许可的身体接触。

💛 As a Traveler
I’m willing to help with what I’m good at:
teaching, healing work, cooking, cleaning, communication — as long as we’re equal.
I don’t like relationships where someone feels “owed”.
Tell me your house rules and taboos clearly.
Boundaries are respect.
我愿意帮助，但必须是平等关系。我需要明确的规则与禁忌，也会尊重界限。

💛 My Lifestyle
I’m an early bird.
Sleep: 9-10 p.m.
Wake up: 5-7 a.m. for Buddhist meditation.
I don’t chat for too long (2–3 hours is enough). I’m organized, but I don’t force myself harshly.
我是清晨作息的人，会在早上保持安静，不吵醒他人。

💛 Current Life
Since Nov 2024 I’ve been living in Dali (Yunnan), teaching Chinese. I run English & Chinese corners and local events. If you want Yunnan or China info, add my WeChat: trytrychineseyu
(I can introduce you to local communities — but you still need to make friends yourself.)

I’m also exploring Chinese-learning × accommodation exchange.
If you want to learn Chinese and have (or don’t have) a place in your country, feel free to contact me.
我目前居住在大理，组织活动，也在尝试中文教学换宿项目。

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I’ve been Shanghai, Yangshuo, Kunming, Tengchong, Rizhao, Qinghai, Lanzhou, Dunhuang by hitchhiking during 2012-2015, surprised and frightened by some dangerous and funny experiences. I started to try CS because of safe issue and met my soulmate here during 2018 and we are still best friend. I’m open to do more spiritual interaction with people and to know better the world by making friends.
