About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live, not survive

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Beijing of China, lived in Shanghai and Milan for studying architecture. Now I'm working as an architect in Aarhus, Denmark, where I found the most ideal place for me to live.

I think I'm a girl who always feel like challenging herself a little bit, but at the same time enjoying the comfort and peace of her life.

I'm fascinated about travelling around, discovering new things and making friends with different culture.

I enjoy the nature, diversity of culture and the company of a lot of friends. I want to experience the world as much as possible :)

PHILOSOPHY

Never be lazy for changing. Use the whole lifetime to experience everything new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
