I grew up in China, went to college there in Beijing, studied in Moscow for 6 months, and then lived in Budapest for 2 years before moving to Boston, USA. I absorbed different culture and value each individual of them very much.

Now I am married and live in Charlottesville, Virginia. But I always miss the single days traveling around the world, and the friends I've made. My husband is a great friend of mine, so we decided to 1. travel together to see the world; 2. host and help people who are traveling to see the world.

I am in sales/marketing, and my husband is in computer science.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer living somewhere rather than touring somewhere. "Living somewhere" means knowing local people, and learning about real life in that place. CS is a great way!
