About Me

Roamer, dreamer, dedicated David Bowie lover

I come from a small city in China with loooots of yummy seafoods, I lived in Shanghai, worked in a healthcare company and are pursuing an advanced study journey in Paris now. So far, I feel lucky about the way my life is, yet there have been some interesting stories I can share with you if you would like to get to know me.
( •̀∀•́ )✧ yes I'm new to Couchsurfing and have no references so far. BUT don't worry at all, I'm very open minded and interesting to connect with. If you have concerns, feel free to ask me questions, I'll patiently answer for you <3

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are just too many. I'm sure we all have different definition about "amazing". Tell me about yours, and try pick one from the following ;)
I survived from poliomyelitis( feel free to google that and show me your face of surprise) at 2 and are a regular runner now.
I saved my playmate from water at 7 and left a scar on my face for it( didn't regret at all, I look pretty anyways haha)
I helped my family with animal husbandry business upgrade as early as 17 yrs old.
I cook great Chinese food, seriously, really good.
I took 7 hours to climb to the top of Huangshan and watch sunrise at the top of it at 5 am the next day with my best friend, chilled to the mellow. But I mean the view, is just unparalleled!
And now I'm starting Couchsurfing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share my passion in running, cooking and traveling, I can teach you some simple Chinese and some Chinese food recipe. I can also show you around Shanghai or give you tips in touring even better places in China.

I'm learning French, playing golf and I want to learn Latin dances.
