Life first, other second!

I grew up in a small mountain town in the southwest of China. I didn't have chance to go outside of my home province before I went to Beijing for the university.

When I was young, I was always looking at the world map and dreaming that I could travel all the world one day.

I made my first backpack travel abroad at the last year of my university and spent more than one month in Southeast Asia. What a great experience I got. Since then, I made my footprints in Europe, Africa, North America.

After 5 years' working in non-profit organization, I would like to take a gap to study and travel to the places which are new to me. And now this time for South America...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to stay in youth hostels when I was backpacking abroad. My friends recommened me to try Couchsurfing as they had a fantastic experience for staying with local people through Couchsurfing.

I believe this is a great approach to experience local life, meet the people, learn the language, enjoy the culture...

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the music that makes people relax and calm down, especially after one day's stress work. Love kalaoke with friends at the weekend.

I watch all kinds of movies to feel different lives and enjoy different experiences. , , etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycling at the foot of Snow Mountain in Tibet and swimming with the swans in the Geneva Lake

Teach, Learn, Share

I worked in non-profit international organisations after graduation from Peking University. I have worked in different parts of China, as well as other countries. Mainly focus on the public health projects.

Currently I am learning French and Spanish, it is so hard to learn but I enjoy the learning process.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Chinese culture, as well as the chinese food. I don't cook too much at home since my mom makes the chinese cuisine very well for the family. But when I was living in other countries I have to cook the chinese food by myself. I could cook the chinese food for the hosts if you are interested in...

Basically I am a very easy-going person and love listening to others' stories, as wel as sharing my story with others.
