About Me

I’ve done some traveling before, but this feels like the biggest adventure yet. On Christmas Day, I moved to Vancouver without ever having visited Canada before. I’m beginning studies in criminology and hope to have enough time to explore and get to know the country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting to know a country and its culture is best done by spending time with locals. They know the best spots to eat, visit, and relax. Plus, meeting people with different perspectives, backgrounds, and knowledge can teach you a lot about yourself.

Interests

I have a passion for reading, writing, and seeking out new adventures. I love exploring and learning from different people, cultures, and experiences. Sharing meals and stories is something I truly enjoy.

  • hitchhiking
  • vinyl records
  • coffee shops
  • food and drinks
  • chinese language
  • reading and writing

Music, Movies, and Books

I’ve started reading on an e-reader – a big shift for a book lover like me. My suitcases were too heavy with all the books I wanted to take along. Fortunately, Vancouver has plenty of bookstores to help me build a new collection.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once spent a night alone next to the Great Wall of China. It was an incredible experience – something I hadn’t planned much for, but it turned out to be one of my favorite adventures.

I would like to share travel experience and I would like to learn more about Canada now I live here!
