I am a 27 year old easygoing Canada permanent resident.

I was originally born in Qingdao (also known as Tsingtao), a small (well, it is small in China XD) beautiful coastal city in the east part of China. Tourists from all over the world come to Qingdao to enjoy the beach, seafood and of course, Tsingtao beer. You may have tasted the Tsingtao beer, which is a pretty popular green bottle with a red label, you can buy in all the supermarkets around Europe. I just enjoyed my Childhood in Qingdao so much!

When I was about 17, I left my hometown and went to the Nanjing Forestry University studying Forestry. Nanjing is the previous capital of six dynasties in China with many legendary stories, especially in the Ming dynasty. I really enjoyed the Brilliant history and culture of Nanjing.

I have travelled to or lived in many cities including Qufu(Confucius's hometown), Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, Haikou, Sanya, Wuzhen, Zhengzhou, Danzhou, Jinan, Wuhu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Taian, Chengdu, Fengdu......There are so many fabulous memories behind each of these cities.

When I was 19, I was admitted by the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, which had the most beautiful campuses in North America. During my studies, I completed my three different coops worked in three different cities in Canada. I helped to manage the forests in Mackenzie a small town with 300 population for 3 months. I joined the local Search and Rescue team and really enjoyed my peaceful life there. I watered and monitored the health situation of trees in Langley for 4 months. I also lived in Surrey for 4 months, where I worked in the Crown land team of Provincial Government and did some cool stuff such as wet for the land restoration project and Spotted Owl rescue project. When I studied in Canada, I went to Seattle, USA, where I spent the best Christmas of my life. I also explored many famous tourism spots in BC province such as Grouse Mountain, Victoria Island and Bowen Island.

Then I graduated from the University of British Columbia with honours in 2018 and studied for one year in Finland for my MSC's degree. I explored a little bit of Europe and really enjoyed different types of cultures.

In 2020, I finished my master degree in UBC in 2020 and continuing my journey in Vancouver and Nanaimo, BC.

Anyway, I won't regret not going around the world when I am old. People say the world is a book - if you go to one place, you only read one page. But here I come to you with my few pages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the idea of Couchsurfing is fantastic. It is really good to find a place where I can meet new people, get to know them, their life, their culture and their stories. I have done a lot of volunteer work as a qualified search and rescue volunteer in BC, and I know the importance of helping each other. I have also been helped by many people during my journey and felt really warm and grateful. "Give and Given" is the reason why I choose to join Couchsurfing.

So far, I have met a lot of nice people and had a lot of great friends from all over the world thanks to Couchsurfing. My life wouldn't be completed without these friends.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a very experienced cook and can cook delicious Chinese food for you! I really enjoyed cooking some nice dishes with my host or guest, and have some interesting talks during the meal. After all, in the past 3 years, I had to cook very delicious traditional Chinese food every day by my self or with my firend as a student in UBC. I can cook:
-Fried rice (it really depends on what kinds of raw material but I promise it will be good)
-Scrambled eggs with tomatoes/Pepper steak/Cucumbers(easy and fast)
-Lamp/Beef/Chicken/Rip(need to use Soy Sauce and other sauces for these dishes, But, they will be really delicious)
-Different kinds of vegetables
