Hi! I’m Canyina from China, currently living in Chengdu. I graduated from the University of Sydney and now work as an AI healthcare product manager.
I’m a passionate traveller and photographer. I also enjoy creative things, including making short videos, recording podcasts, watercolour painting, and making ceramics.
I love meaningful travel — getting to know local people, everyday life, and the real feeling of a place. That’s why I’m here :)
Easygoing, respectful, and always curious about the world. Would love to connect and share stories along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend recommend it to me to help me to connect with local people and have a deep experience during solo trip…

Interests

I am good at singing (mostly pop songs), can play a bit of guitar, and love sketching — both line drawing and watercolor from real life.
I enjoy photography, especially landscapes and portraits, and I create short videos and record podcasts as part of my creative work. During my travels, I’ve taken many photos and turned the most beautiful of them into postcards. I usually bring some of them to people who I meet during travel as gift.If people like, I’d be happy to take some photos or even create a short video for them and their family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently, I completed my first independent documentary, a 40-minute film about four Chinese women (aged 20–40) and their choices around personal growth, career, family, and motherhood. This is the first time I’ve created a documentary film on my own. Through in-depth conversations with these four women and recording their daily lives, I discovered a sense of strength within myself. After the film was released, they were deeply moved and grateful, which made this experience incredibly meaningful to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Meet new people and have a deep talk.
Teach and share about: how to paint with pen/pencil/watercolour.... I can share my skills in photography, video shooting and editing. I can also share some psychological views on daily life.
Learn: I am curious about everything and willing to know more about whatever you are interested in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’d love to exchange experiences and small moments together. I can take photos or create a short video for you, cook some Chinese dishes, and share a bit of my culture.
I can also bring some small gifts from China, like books, my own photography postcards, and little souvenirs from Chengdu.
I will randomly bring several kinds of cameras with me, so I can take good pictures for you and record videos for our story.
