Just graduated and looking to explore the world. I've been studying Chinese for the last few years at uni and will be living in Beijing again for the next year or two. I love meeting new people, getting new perspectives on life and exploring new cultures. I mainly want to enjoy life and spend as much of it laughing as possible.

Love travelling, chatting and chilling

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people around the world, get local insight into the places I'm visiting and help people explore where I'm living.
I've lived in flats hosting couchsurfers over many years and always love getting to chat to new people and hear about all the fun and interesting things they are doing. I want to keep travelling the world but do it by meeting local, fun people, not by hiding away in a hotel.
