About Me

I am 28. I grow up in a Yichang City in the middle of China, right by Yangtze River.Now I am working at a law firm in Beijing. I stayed in Netherland in 2015 for a law school exchange program during which I visit several European countries by myself or with my friends and accomplished the great Camino de San Diego.

I am a normal eastern girl, who is deeply embodied with Chinese culture and values. But, after so many years exposed to Western things and people, and in combination of the wild part of my inner heart, I do not refuse to do something different, new, even outrageous. Friends say I am not a typical, traditional Chinese student, I am always the most popular Chinese among our international students group.

~~~~~~~~it's better to regret something you did than regret not doing it~~~~~~~~~

I am on my way, I have been here, I am going further.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Highs and downs , all is so natural in one's life.You feel it for you are no longer ignorant of it. You grow so everyday is a different day.

I just want to quote these words here to keep encourage myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I experienced some great couchsurfing and met some great hosts during my stay in the Europe. Now I am back in China and it's time for me to give back. And hopefully I will go to the outside world some other day and again met friends out there.

Now I have rented a double-room apartment in Beijing. If you come here, I'd like to host you and show you around if I don't have to OT work.
