Overview
About Me
For anyone who wants to stay @my place, I hope you can read my profile first, than you .
I got to know "couchsurfing" three years ago when i was in Canada, i was living there almost two years and experience a totally different life since that was my first time to go out of China. Canada is an immigration country, because of that, i met so many people from different areas in the world, i got to know their life, their eating, living habits with the time i talked to people. I joined a few volunteer works and social activities over there, therefore, i began to become a girl with open minded, passionate, active personalities. I like to share experience and ideas with people since everyone is special. Its not only about improving languages skills, but also, and most important is to know the culture, the beautiful world we want to explore.
After leaving Canada, currently, i am studying food quality in Uk, and this will be finished by the end of this August. Unfortunately, I could not host anyone at this moment since i am studying in UK and live in a student dorm, but i can host nice people as soon as i go back to beijing.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It seems that couchsurfing is an international activity if i could call this as an "activity". I would like to get know more abt the world more in using this way, because everyone do not have the energy and time to explore the whole world. And also, i want to bring "the world "to my parents, and let them to contact with different lifestyles.
Interests
i love cooking since i was 9 years old, this will be my big interest for my whole life. Cooking with delicate appliances and utensils is the most beautiful and relaxing thing. As a foodie, I tried over 30 different kinds of cuisine in the world, although sometimes they may not that authentic. i have the strong curious about what inside the dish and how i can make it at home when i try something new. I know the basic cooking theory in big regions, such as US, Mexican, India and of course chinese cuisine. Studying in Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Institute is my biggest dream haha. I cut down my meat intake since 2015, and nearly become a vegetarian, due to the way people treat animals and also the heath to my body and skin. I am not that kind of foodie that just want to eat without knowing anything about food science, i am interested in food nutrition as well as sports nutrition since i was in high middle school.
Fitness is another big interest of mine. I started to really work out in the gym in 2013, unlike some girls just do jogging or treadmill. During the time, i got to know more and more basic theories about training, toning, the muscles structure, and also how body function in order to loss fat and gail muscle. i had one month experience working in a top-level gym in beijing, that was really make me broaden my eyes and learned a lot.

Music, Movies, and Books
To be honesty, i am not a big fan of music. I admire those people who can sing well, draw well and desigh something well. I really need to develop a taste of art and get to more about this field. I do love movies, those with surprisingly plot and good actors and actress. I love reading, reading a book in startbuck with a cup of coffee, calm down myself is one of the most beautiful things.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
i went to the happiest country -costa rica alone in 2014. Everyone is so worried about me since costa rica is in middle america, anywhere could be dangerous in certain areas. I spent 7 days over there, the active volcano, the real forest, the walking plant, the zip-line over the valley are all amazing, that was an unforgettable journey i had so far.
