Hey guys! I'm Gloria, nice to "meet" you on line firstly ^^

I'm a second-year master student in entrepreneurship and project management, a Chinese girl who has been living and studying in France for 2 years and half. I love meeting people and sharing my experiences and my culture, my passion with others, in the other hand, I'm also a good listener. I believe that we can learn a lot of things from the experiences and stories of the others. I'm always ready to learn more. In my opinion, we are learning by living throughout the life, the people we've met, the experiences we've got also the traveling we've done :)

I love animals, especially cat, I have a lovely cat with me since 2 years, her name is Jiujiu. "Jiu" in chinese means "forever" and the number "9", it's my lucky number, so the signification of her name is lucky forever :) I do hope so and I am.

My passion is snowboarding. I do as well skate sometimes but I'm a beginner for that :) I love to joke with my friends, I like to make others happy, I like to help people, etc. I'm also a model amateur, I posed before for photographer and painter.

Before my master, I got an architecture diploma in China, so that I'm sensible with art, design, I'm creative and innovative person. I love to try new things, to discover new adventure with friends.

Actually, I'm planning to travel in USA for one month in October, and to do a little tour around Europe before I enter totally in the adult world : "professional life".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since longtemps I would like to travel around the world, but it's not simple to find someone to keep me company and I really like to share my travel experience with someone else. I am literally glad to join in the Couchsurfing which gives me the opportunity to meet new people, to discover new cultures, lifestyles and insight of the local people, additionally, which allows me to go and buy a ticket when I want to! Or I could find someone for traveling together in the groupe of the Couchsurfing, that would be so cool !
