CURRENT MISSION

Visiting all European countries before 24th, January, 2014

ABOUT ME

My hometown is Chongqing, southwest of China. From 2011, I went to Shanghai attending university. Now, I am studying in France as an exchange student for one semester.

I am an independent girl, preferring to travel alone (means without classmates or acquaintances' accompany, but to meet new friends during my journey). I also enjoy meeting people from other countries and cultures, learning about them and about different ways of living, thinking, eating and talking.

Generally, my life goal is to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life.

PHILOSOPHY

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, old time is still a flying, and this same flower that smiles today, tomorrow will be dying."

教，学，和分享

I think it's always the best way to get in touch with locals who give you information you won't get anywhere else. Also I think I can share something about Chinese culture and of course, I can cook some basic Chinese food which so far everybody liked. Furthermore, I love to smile and love to give that attitude to people who I have conversations with.
