Hello Couchsurfing Community!

A warm hello from a curious soul from China! My name is Mai,and I'm an outgoing and respectful traveler who believes the best way to experience a place is through the eyes of a local. I'm passionate about connecting with people from all walks of life, sharing stories, and creating meaningful memories together.

A little about me:

Culture & Languages: I hold an International Chinese Language Teacher Certificate and love sharing my language and culture. I speak fluent Mandarin and English, and I'm always eager to learn a new phrase or two in your language!

Nature Lover: I find peace and joy in the great outdoors. Whether it's hiking, gardening, or simply enjoying a walk in a park, I love being close to nature.

Creative & Active: I enjoy hands-on activities, from arts and crafts to cooking. I'm currently in Provence, France, working with animals and a local family, which has taught me immense adaptability and appreciation for simple, wholesome living.

What I Bring to Your Home:
I am not just looking for a free place to stay; I am seeking a genuine cultural exchange. I'd be delighted to:

Cook you a authentic homemade Chinese meal.

Share stories and teach you a bit of Chinese, if you're interested.

Help out around the house – I'm a great helper in the kitchen or garden!

Be a respectful and considerate guest, who values your space and time.

I am excited to meet open-minded people, learn about your life, and hopefully build a lasting friendship. Feel free to check out my profile, and I hope to have the chance to share a cup of tea with you soon!

Cheers,
Mai
