Hi, I’m Teresa. A 25-year-old, calm, ocean-loving soul.
I’m someone who enjoys deep conversations, creativity and meaningful experiences.
I also keep below the first message in this section that I wrote with my sister 5 years ago. We used to travel together, and it means a lot to me, so I prefer not to delete it.
She’s the butterfly… now a pregnant one 🦋

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I had my first experience in 2021, when my sister and I missed a flight in London… and it unexpectedly turned into something really special.
Since then, I started hosting people at my place, and I realized how much I love sharing stories, perspectives and moments with others.
