Overview
About Me
Hi there!
I am a positive, respectful, thoughtful and curious person. If there is only one thing I would like people to remember about me, that will be: a person that live her life and treat people with heart.
I like traveling and meeting different kinds of people. I spent a year working and traveling in Australia in 2016 and after that I visited Argentina, Chile and Japan. Now I am settling down and work as an English teacher for young kids in a fun and inspiring way.
If you would like to improve Mandarin or Cantonese, it's my pleasure to help you practice. Besides that, I would love to share my travel experiences in China, Australia, U.S.A, Chile, Argentina, Malaysia, Thailand, Netherlands, France.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I walked Larapinta Trail alone on November 2016, one of the best trails in Australia, which is approximately 223km long and takes 14 days to complete. This is the first multiple days hiking that I've ever done and I overcame my fear of staying in outback alone at night.
