Cat mom, meditator, and world wanderer, global citizen with Chinese 🇨🇳nationality.

🌎 On my first extended world trip since Sept 2023. Former corporate attorney, previously based in Shanghai and Beijing. I’ve been traveling through the Americas and am now heading back to Southeast Asia to continue slow travel in the region.

🦋Love nature, animals mountains and ocean, thus trekking, camping ⛺️ and diving too. Above all, adventures! and foods.
Studied environmental law + human rights, was vegetarian for years - I don’t judge.

Into arts, poems, and philosophy/spirituality.
Baby tango dancer 💃🏽. Master of doing nothing. Skilled at getting lost for no reason (but never on hikes).

🧘🏻‍♀️ In a 'parallel universe', I am on an inner journey of exploring the world within. I meditate daily before breakfast and dinner. Trying to live in the present with awareness as much as possible.

Morning person.
No alcohol, no🧋

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

Meditation, calmness, and attentive listening.

Cooking, esp. breakfast, some bad humor, stories.

Would like to learn more about different cultures here, and Spanish!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Calm presence and respectful communication 🌿

A 25 minutes meditation session with guidance if you are up for it.

Cultural exchange and shared experiences from solo travel across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
Traditional Chinese culture and perspectives. Tea 🍵 ceremonies!

I value clear communication, mutual respect, and boundaries.

I usually confirm accommodation only once my plans are final.
Happy to connect even if staying together doesn’t work out.
