I am currently in China, working as Marketing Manager for the International Fashion Academy, IFA Paris.
PHILOSOPHY
Be true and responsible to myself and to the others.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
A friend of mine had great experience here:)
I've known a lot of nice people through CS,really appreciated it. I enjoy learning different points of view through a cup of coffee with people from different culture, surfing their couches and showing them around:).

My recent favourite is Sherlock the BBC TV series!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I love to learn different languages. I've learned French ,Japanese, and German. It's so nice to communicate with local people in their languages!
Maybe the most amazing thing is that I have many interests and am good at quite a few of them :p
Teach, Learn, Share
I'd like to teach Chinese Mandarin and Cantonese. I might be the best Chinese teacher you can find :D
Also if we can practise French and Japanese together that would be fantastic!
I am a good cook, so if I have time I can teach Chinese cooking and pastry art ;)
It'll be great if you can teach me how to sing, act and dance better! Since I'm recently interested in Breaking but cannot find a good teacher...In return I can teach ballet with my over 15 years experience :)
