Hello there!
I am a 24-year-old Chinese who was born and raise in a tropical southern city called Guangzhou. In my age of 22, I decided to explore the world before I lose my courage to embrace the new. I went to France for my master study without knowing how to speak French. My French is broken until today, but I manage to stay. Now I am an expatriate working in Paris:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have friends who host couchsurfers, from which I also get a chance to know them. It is a cool way to know people, to share stories. And I become curious and expect to join Couchsurfing=)

Music, Movies, and Books

My list of favorite music changes from time to time, so it is really hard to tell. I love Michael Jackson / Westlife / One Direction / Imagine Dragons / The Chainsmokers / Ed Sheeran / MØ / Jay Chou...
My favorite movies are not in a certain style as well... I can list my top 3. I love films with convincing story or reflecting true history.
1. Cloud Altas. It shares a sprit I treasure, and I also love various stories bombarding my mind;
2. Gattaca. It is my first science fiction movie. I was shocked and had strong empathy to the story.
3. Benjamin Button.
For books, I love novels, proses, travelogues etc. The Book of Lost Things is one of my favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first exploration starts at my age 19, I was a volunteer teacher in a small village in Thailand. It is a treasury experience for my life.
Until today, I've ran 4 half-marathons and 4 marathons. I actually ran that 4 marathons within one year(perhaps that is the reason why I stop training lol).
I became a vegetarian for some time, then I learned how to make great vegetarian dishes(Although now I come back to meat...).

Teach, Learn, Share

I am quite good at making vegetarian food and Chinese cuisine. I would love to make some food for you!
We can do some sports together if the weather is nice:)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a collector of stories. It is fascinating to see how stories and experiences make someone become who she/he is.
I am a good listener, but also have stories to tell.
