CURRENT MISSION

I was backpacking in Latin America since June 2019, spent a few weeks in Mexico, one month in Guatemala, and 3 months in Colombia, a little bit in Chile and Peru. I was stuck (and travelling, and enjoying my life) in Argentina for almost 2 years there, and I moved to Mexico City 2 months ago!

ABOUT ME

Hey Couch Surfers! I'm from China, born in Shanghai, grew up in Shenzhen, I went to college in US, studied in Paris for 3 months, and have travelled to around 40 countries around the world. So I consider myself quite international and open-minded :) I have lots of international friends, I love meeting people from all over the world, and learn about different cultures.

My hobbies..

I love food, wine and coffee. I love to try local food in different places. And I am very excited for Argentina because I’m looking forward to those amazing wine!

I love learning different languages. I speak Chinese, English, Spanish and some French. I would like to improve my Spanish during this trip.

I've been dancing salsa and bachata for 5-6 years and I love it. I always bring my salsa shoes when I travel and check out the local salsa parties. I usually dance Salsa on 1 (Los Angeles style), I can also dance a bit salsa on 2 and Cuban salsa. Recently in Cali, Colombia I also learned a lot of salsa caleña, it was really fun!
