Hi, I'm Lena. I grew up and live in Beijing. I'm a 4th year university student with a business major. Currently I'm studying in Norwich, UK as an exchange student for one semester. I'm going to Boston, US for graduate school this fall.

I am a curious and open-minded person. I like musical theaters, beaches, animals, fashion, DIY, etc. I am bad at all sports but I quite enjoy cycling and swimming. Of course I also love travelling. I've been to several places in Europe and Asia, and also quite a few places in China. Latin America, Southeast Asia and Japan are on the bucket list.

- I probably spend too much time watching Youtube videos...
- I'm love musical theaters, and I'm a crazy fan girl of some of the musicals and actors...
- I like crafting in my free time, e.g. making handmade cards. I find it very therapeutic to me.
- I'm transfering into a veggie :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love exploring different places, but I always travel on a budget.
I like to know interesting people with different backgrounds and hear about their stories.
I'm super grateful for all the kindness I recieved when I was travelling and want to give back to the travelling community as much as I can.
There is a guest room in my home.
Then why not? :)))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteered in Sri Lanka? Or perhaps went cycling for 1000+ kilometers with my cycling team?
Nothing that amazing really... I'm trying to do more exciting things in the future.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm curious and interested in anything I don't know, your experiences, your hobbies, your expertise(though I'm not sure if my brain is good enough to understand :P), random fun facts, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Gosh, I don't know.... It seems like I know nothing...
Maybe I can share my not-so-exciting stories, TV shows / funny videos / musicals I enjoy, places to go in Beijing, and Chinense culture if you're interested.
I can help with cleaning the room or any other housework.
