Hi there! 👋So happy to meet you here :)

💁‍♀️I'm Lyra, 23 years old, and I go by she/her.LGBTQ+friendly,pets friendly.

I’m from a very small city in Hunan and I studied music at university in Guangzhou.I recently quit my job to take a little gap period before preparing for grad school.

I’m into photography, piano, and new media stuff recently.I'm also loving this : 🎮🎬🔮🎤👯

My MBTI is ENFP, and I truly love meeting people from all walks of life.If you’d like to go out, eat, explore, or take some cool photos together,I’m your girl. I’ll do my best to capture amazing shots for you, and I’m always happy to hang out or share a good conversation.

I speak Mandarin (Grade A, Level 2), and I can understand some basic Cantonese. My daily English communication is totally fine, but when it comes to deeper or more reflective conversations (which I really enjoy), I might rely a bit on body language or AI tools.

If you’re interested in learning Mandarin or piano, or want some help walking your dog or having a personal photographer, I’d be happy to help however I can.

Let’s be friends! 😆

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the culture of it,it makes people feel more connected, like real human interaction in a world full of screens.

For me, one of the best parts of traveling is meeting people from different places and backgrounds！

And as a gap-year traveler, it’s also a fun and affordable way to make friends along the way.
