Hi there,

I am Aasta. I am from China. Currently, I am studying master of social work in Australia and working as a self-employed IELTS tutor. I enjoy volunteer gardening and helping people with terminal cancer.

I am big fan of travelling, enjoying travelling solo around the world. I have been living in Australia and New Zealand for a couple of years as backpackers.

I have visited Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia and Thailand, and will continue my journey. I love adventure and freedom. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, watching sunset, reading and watching movies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and meeting people from different cultural backgrounds. I want to travel like an antropologist instead of a tourist. I enjoy deep conversation about a wide range of topics. I am moved by the kindness of strangers on the road.
