Hello!

I’m a new member here and a visual designer from Beijing. currently embarking on my first solo European adventure through Spain, France, Switzerland, and Germany.

I’d describe myself as an easy-going person who loves discovering new places. While my English is still a work in progress (I might need a little help from translation apps!), I am genuinely eager to connect and learn. I’m a great listener and very keen to communicate.

I may be new to international travel, but I have a deep curiosity about different cultures. I’m especially excited to exchange stories and get inspired by your experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see real cities through the eyes of locals rather than just ticking off tourist attractions. I’m here to hear your stories and share our perspectives on cinema, music, and life. To me, the most precious part of traveling is connecting with interesting people.

Directors: I’m a big fan of Stanley Kubrick, Denis Villeneuve, Emir Kusturica, Akira Kurosawa, Zhang Yimou, Takeshi Kitano, Hirokazu Kore-eda, and Hayao Miyazaki.
Music: I’m an avid vinyl collector! I love listening to The Beatles, Daft Punk, Avicii, The Weeknd, Tyler, The Creator, Harry Styles, SZA, Madeon, and Porter Robinson. As for Spanish artists, I’ve recently been listening to ROSALÍA’s new album.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be honest, I can't think of anything legendary right now, but I hope this solo journey to Europe will become the most amazing thing I've ever done. As a designer used to creating behind a screen, this is my first time traveling halfway across the world alone. To witness the masterpieces of Picasso and Van Gogh in person and to feel the pure passion at Camp Nou is a huge step for me. This leap into the unknown is, for me, the most amazing thing right now.

Teach, Learn, Share

Although I haven't traveled to many countries yet, I am incredibly curious about the world. I would love to hear your travel stories and experiences—it would be so inspiring for me. I hope that one day, I will also have the chance to travel to every corner of the globe, just like you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m happy to help with cleaning and keeping your place tidy. I’m a non-smoker, very organized, and highly respect your privacy and personal space.

I’d love to cook some authentic Chinese comfort food for you, like classic egg fried rice. If you’re curious about China, I’m also happy to share my stories and perspectives.

We could grab a coffee and dive into the visual aesthetics of arthouse cinema. Whether you want to learn some practical Mandarin or have me capture some storytelling street portraits of you with my camera, I’m truly looking forward to a sincere exchange!
