Hi! My name is Xiaolin (Shel-lyn). I am currently a student studying in America. I have been here for three and a half years.

I am not a very talkative person. I am quiet but I listen to people. I like keep exploring and learning new things. I would die if there is no new things coming up in my life. Like now I am learning how to play Ukulele and I am trying to pick up Spanish for my trip to South America.

I respect diversity and am very open-minded. I am very easy-going and I do not expect you to be a very "cool" person or so. Just make yourself comfortable when you stay, but you need to clean up after yourself. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live by myself and I happened to have a spare futon in my living room!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One week right after I got my driver's licence, I took a road trip and drove over 5,000 miles to the west. Safe, no accident. Totally beat the Asian female driver stereotype I guess. ;)
