I come from China and now am an exchange student in Reims, France, planning to travel around Europe٩( 'ω' )و

Most people at their first glance with me would think that I'm a quite shy and quiet girl but after few days' talk some would say I am incredibly crazy sometimes.
I'm confused about that, maybe it's because I'm not good at social contact and impress people as who I am. Or that's exactly the complexity of human nature, one can be shy and interesting at the same time. But I always want to be myself when meeting people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Haven't experienced yet...

Actually my parents are strongly opposed,
but I think that's probably an interesting way of travelling abroad, meeting local guys, experiencing their way of living, sharing likes and dislikes, experiences and ideas.
and I'm willing to learn from the experiences, improving language, trying not to be shy! and also, save some money for buying interesting local gadgets.

Interests

NOVEL...I like reading novels and am planing to write last week. I think reading a different kind of novel is like experiencing a different life, just like traveling! so I enjoy almost all kinds of novels and nowadays I prefer Raymond Carver's book, What We Talk about When We Talk about Love.

MUSIC...I have some friends who have different tastes of music so I listen to a wide range of music and am willing to try different style. But I like post rock music, blue and jazz, ..soft ones.

PAINTING...Actually I just started painting last week, on class, painting our professor, on 14th. March. But it just fascinated me at the moment, and I just can't stop drawing, drawing people I've seen with my blue ballpoint pen, and have drew more than 15 pictures in the week. My painting just gets by and I want to improve it and make it lively with stories.

COOKING...I am a cooking fan absolutely! I can spending hours in kitchen, keep trying, keep failing and keep tasting and eating. I am kind of good at Chinese cooking and trying to learn French cooking or other styles!

cocktail...I've tried some and love it but not good at it, and I have plans with friend to start up A little bar near school when back to China(/ω＼)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

maybe something, but what comes into my mind now maybe not amazing at all...
just recently, I made a one-hundred-day plan of not eating staple food and keeping running! It's my fifteenth day in the month. And now, I have lost 10 pounds!!
but soon gain some weight when can't stop desserts...oops
sounds stupid...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Chinese of course, and maybe Chinese dishes if you want, but I'm not good at dealing with spices.

I want to learn painting and photography, or anything interesting.

I would appreciate it much if you could give me some small travelling suggestions!
