Overview
About Me
I was born in Beijing and grew up in a totally normal family… though my imagination has always been a bit rebellious. In school, I fell in love with painting, and at university I discovered friends who were equally obsessed with 3D digital tech and programming—basically, nerds with a creative streak.
Now I live and work in Germany, but I quickly realized life is too short to stay in one place. That’s why I travel: to meet amazing people, collect funny stories, and occasionally get lost in places I didn’t plan to visit (and sometimes find the best food that way).
I love being close to nature, enjoying life’s little moments, and making the most out of every day. I also enjoy sharing hobbies, from sports and cooking (I’d love to teach you a favorite Chinese dish!) to dancing, reading, and programming.
I’m open-minded, curious, and love chatting about anything from travel disasters to weird life hacks, favorite books, or the secret to surviving a Monday. Couchsurfing for me isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s about sharing laughs, stories, and making memories that are way better than any guidebook.
I would be thrilled to meet you, hear your stories, and maybe even cook a meal together while swapping travel tips.
Looking forward to our adventure!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Why am I on Couchsurfing? Well, first of all, couches are comfier than airports. And secondly… I like people. Not just the “hi, how are you” kind, but the kind who will tell you about the time they got lost in a city, cooked something that shouldn’t exist, or danced in their pajamas at 2 a.m.
Couchsurfing is basically a socially acceptable way to crash at someone’s place, eat their food, ask for local secrets, and somehow leave as friends instead of fugitives. It’s like Airbnb, but with more laughter, less paperwork, and zero awkward cleaning fees.
I’m here to meet humans with cool stories, weird hobbies, or just a love for bad jokes. I might cook a Chinese dish for you (warning: it could be delicious or dangerously experimental), share my travel fails, and maybe even convince you that spontaneous adventures are the best kind of therapy.
So, if you have a couch, a good sense of humor, and don’t mind a guest who will probably overuse puns… welcome to our mini-adventure!

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I’m all about epic, historic, and classical sounds, but I also swing to jazz and let the rhythms of life take over. Basically, if it tells a story or makes me tap my feet, I’m in.
Movies: I love films that explore nature, history, or the far reaches of science fiction. Whether it’s a breathtaking documentary, a historical epic, or a mind-bending sci-fi adventure, I’m hooked.
Books: My bookshelf is a mix of Sci-Fi, IT, romance, crime, history, and art. I enjoy stories that make me think, teach me something new, or simply transport me to another world.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was young, I spent a whole week making my mother’s birthday gift all by myself. It was super creative, unforgettable… and yes, probably the most intense week of glue and glitter in history. ^^
Also as a kid, I watched Transformers for the first time and immediately decided: “I NEED my own Transformer toy!” Problem: too expensive. Solution: I made my own… out of paper. It looked nothing like the movie, but in my head, it was a masterpiece. :D
In university, for a big dorm party, I cooked more than 10 different dishes with all kinds of flavors for 20 people. The verdict? Everyone survived, laughed a lot, and maybe a few gained +1 life skill from tasting my “experimental cuisine.” ;)
Honestly, my motto is: I want to do things I’ve never done before… and I always take my time to make them memorable.
Teach, Learn, Share
Share: I can teach you a few things (or at least try!): Chinese, Swing dancing like nobody’s watching, sports, programming (applications and Game developing), cooking (warning: taste-testing required), and painting masterpieces… or at least abstract art that looks cool on Instagram. 😄
Learn: I’m always up for learning new things too! German, English, Spanish, sports, guitar, and even dancing moves that don’t make me look like a confused robot—your turn to impress me!
Couchsurfing for me is all about this fun exchange: I teach, I learn, we laugh, we share stories, and somehow everyone ends up a little richer in skills… or at least in good memories.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Languages: Mandarin for ordering dumplings like a pro… maybe a bit of German too if you’re brave. 🥟
Swing dancing: Lindy Hop, Blues, Balboa, Shag, Solo Jazz – I promise to teach without stepping on your toes… too much. 💃
Game development: Unity 3D, C# – I can show you how games are made… or why your computer suddenly hates you. 🎮
Cooking: Traditional Chinese dishes – taste-testers always welcome (and occasionally required). 🍜
Travel stories: Tales of adventures, mishaps, and epic fails – perfect for couch-side entertainment. ✈️
Opinions & views: On basically everything – from culture and tech to life hacks and random curiosities. 🗣️
Other sports: Running, swimming, hiking, table tennis… or just cheering from the sidelines like a very enthusiastic spectator. 🏃♂️🏊♂️🏓
