About Me

[PLEASE NOTE THAT I CAN ONLY HOST JAN AND FEB 2020, MOVING OUT LUXEMBOURG IN MARCH,]

From northwest of China, proud of my hometown(current) Xi’An, if you do not know? Google it, now!

Lived in 12 different cities/towns across China, now live in beautiful small country Luxembourg for 3 years. Traveled around 40 countries (90% are solo trips). Only speak Mandarine and English (maybe 10 French words after 3 years in Lux)

What do I like to do? I work a lot, known as workaholic. Besides that, try to allocate my time to myself, traveling, reading, running, hiking.

Culture diversity is one thing I like to explore, so always up for any cultural events (religions event also), at the same time do not surprise to hear many my perspectives of Chinese society and culture.

Food: Huge Asian food fan. Noodle is my love, BiangBiang Mian is the best!
Fruit: Like literally EVERY type of fruits. Custard Apple is in my top list now!
Black coffee lover! Alcohol drinker for occasions. Plus, you never say no to Ice Cream.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Jan 11th 2020: I hosted my first guest who is from Azerbaijan, a politics majored student who is also a part-time DJ. Honestly, I didn’t know this country and how beautiful it is, because of him I realized how rich the history is from not only Azerbaijan, but also who Caucasus region.
This is the reason why I am on CS.

Jan 6th 2020: I met some awesome ppl in Sri Lanka during NY, Would like to continue meeting more amazing people here. And, have a separate room free now.

Dec 28th 2019: Hmmm, a friend told me this is actually an amazing platform (last use was 2 years back), so came back...to meet interesting people during my travels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a half marathon in Tromso, Norway on 5th Jan. Yes, icy and freezing!

I decided to drop off from my Master business school, and it turned out to be an amazing decision because I felt much happier since then. Free up your mind, not do sth due to social pressure.

Biking safari in Kenya National Park (if we can leave the accident & concussion part aside :)

In the middle of Serengeti, watching Hyena hunting his/her breakfast when I was sitting in my tent with my breakie...

I travelled 35 countries in last 3 years!
