Hello！I am Ivy！I choose this short simple English name is because my Chinese name is a little bit hard to remember 😂My Japanese nickname is tako,means octopus 🐙 in Japan,cuz my Japanese friend told me my face look like octopus 🤦‍♀️

I love traveling and I always travel alone. I really enjoy the time on solo traveling,but I don’t feel lonely,cuz I always meet new people,have new experience,and it can make me more independent,stronger and braver.

I love exciting things and would like to try something new,learn something new. I am always curious about the world.I respect the different culture and different religions. I will be more than happy if somebody share their culture and their stories to me .

I am a girl who always have passion about life.It seems like my energy never be used up. I would like to play tennis and swimming or go to gym . I have been to many cities of China,so If u have plan to visit my country,I can give some advice.

Every Chinese is inborn gourmet,me too!!! I would like to try anything new,especially food! I am a food lover,but I easily gain weight .......😅

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am crazy for traveling. CS is a good way to make friends with different people. I hope I can have more friends . I eager to know more different culture and experience different life.
