Hi, I'm Sixing, which is pronounced more like Si-Sing. After spent 18 amazing years growing up in Beijing, now I study Art History and Media Studies at a liberal arts college in Poughkeepsie, NY.
I'm travelled quite a lot in my past years, but more in a traditional way--with my parents and guided by a tour guide. After I start my college life I would love to try something different, like road trips or traveling without a plan in advance. Uncertainty excites me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to know a place is to meet with local people, and talk with them. Couchsurfing provides me a great chance to really get to know people, who share the same interests in traveling and learning from others.

Interests

I love to read, write, doodle, watch cult films, visit museums, stare at paintings, creating random patterns in Photoshop, practicing both my Chinese and English calligraphy, and finding weird/interesting websites online (, etc).

Movies: One of my all-time-favorite would be Inception. I also enjoy movies like Fight Club that surprises you.
