About Me

An intimate apparel designer, entrepreneur, feminist and a global citizen🌍 born and raised in Canton China.
I believe we don’t need to own a lot of stuff to be happy, and “everything is ‘figureoutable’”- that’s why I am moving country for the first time.
A sociable introvert- I love making meaningful connection and having deep conversations with people, as much as I treasure my solitude journaling, reading and thinking, with a cup of tea.
A curious soul and free spirit, friendly and easy-going, creative problem solver, a foodie who paints with food.
Currently trying to reduce my single use plastic; eat more plant-based diet and keep my momentum of morning HIIT.
When I travel, I love people-watching, going to see museums and galleries, trying out street food/ local food and chatting with locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My personal experience with “couchsurfing” has always been with friends and families- having friend over/ staying with friends is always refreshing!
My friends who had been avid Couchsurfer/ hosts spoke highly about the experience, in which that it’s fun to meet interesting people, exchange stories, cultures and cultinaries.
And the way they talk about how welcoming and generous people are made me wonder if everyone treats everyone equally trusting, kind and patient, what a society would we be living in.
