About Me

Hi everyone! I'm a regular backpacker who loves exploring different culture and regions. I grew up in Shenzhen, China and travelled most of the major attractions around the country (ask me!) up till I moved out. After short trip in Canada and the USA, a one month solo backpacking around Europe, 6 months living in Taiwan and 1.5 years working holiday in the Australia, I'm now settling down in the amazing city Amsterdam, ready to explore more around Europe xd

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I'm traveling, I wanna get to know more about different culture and people rather than only doing touristy thingy. And I believe that the best way to understand a place is to live with local people. I also enjoy making new friends and exchange different ideas and thoughts with people from all around the world.

In addition, I have a boyfriend and I’m not looking for any romance or anything else other than friends in CS >3

As I live in Amsterdam, I have been receiving a lot of requests for staying with me. Please start your request message with the word “sticky rice” so that I know you’ve read some of my profile ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

🎵Usually I listen to rock music for days and electronic, techno music for party or workout.
🎬I enjoy sci-fi movies, comedy, Adventure movies and so on. Game of Thrones is my all-time favorite. Besides I also love Marvel movies, Imitation Game, Shutter Island and so on.
📖The song of Ice and Fire are one of my favorite book series. But mostly I read books about social science like sociology, history, political philosophy, such as On Liberty by Mill and Social Contract by Rousseau.
