About Me

Hi there! I just finished studying mandarin in Shaanxi, China and now I want to explore the world. I love traveling and exploring new places. And, I never say no to a good book!

My profile may be short but I think the best way to get to know someone is by chatting with them personally. So, feel free to send me a message!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now, I would like to travel to Hong Kong for a bit. I have some things I want to see there and I would love to find a host that can accommodate me during my stay, even if its only for a couple of days.

I'm currently looking to camp in Iceland in the coming months. So, for now, I'm slowly planning that trip.

After I begin to travel, I realized that it's much easier than you would think. It just takes that first step to get out there and explore. Don't let anyone or anything hold you back. Do what makes YOU happy! I plan on traveling to as many countries as possible. I want to learn new things, new languages, about other cultures, etc. You're never too old to learn. I'm currently learning Russian. It's difficult, but I won't stop trying. And, I'm always happy to have a travel buddy so feel free to reach out to me if we're going in the same direction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For me, it has to be traveling. Not many people have the opportunity, and I think it should be more accessible for people to see the world and learn about new cultures.
