Overview
About Me
Hi there! I'm a social innovator from Chengdu, China, working in the field of community building. I recently completed my role as the coordinator for the 2023 World University Games in Chengdu, where I had the pleasure of allowing friends from over 100 countries around the world to gain a better understanding of some of China's social innovation initiatives.
Now, it's time for me to embark on a journey of global social innovation exploration! During my travels, I look forward to engaging with locals and learning about their cultural histories, religious beliefs, and daily habits. I believe that through firsthand experiences and perspectives, we can gain a deeper understanding and respect for each other's way of life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm always on the lookout for new adventures, whether it's exploring a new city or immersing myself in a different culture. That's why I love being a couchsurfer – it allows me to live like a local while still having the comfort of a familiar bed.
Interests
I am a person who loves sports and learning. I regularly practice Ba Duan Jin🧘🏻♀️🥋, a traditional Chinese exercise that is simple and easy to learn. Additionally, I am also a basketball enthusiast 🏀who enjoys getting sweaty during games. If you get the chance, I would love to have a friendly game with you.
I have a strong interest in learning new languages and improving my skills in foreign tongues. I enjoy exploring different cultures, especially Chinese culture. I believe that if you are also interested in Chinese culture, we will surely have plenty of topics to discuss and share.
