About Me

Haven't been on couchsurfing for a loooong timooRecently noticed a lot of foreign people come visit China and the passion of share interesting subject with people from different culture come back to life again! I used to do couchsurfing in Denmark, Netherlands, Turkey, Japan, and now I think it's time for me to be a host to introduce you of my country!
This is me: A typical South-China-girl. A big fan of delicious food. If you interested, I could show you different kinds of food from different province in China which could be a great joy.
Love traveling but regretably have little holidays, 10 days a year according to the country's labor law, apart from weekends and festival holidasy. So this girl cheirshes her every holiday so much.
Have been studying in UK in 2013, when I get to know couchsurfing and new people from various places. What a joyful time! I can speak English quite well, and I'm studying SPANISH right now.
I'm now living and working in Shenzhen, the youngest well developed city near Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Most well-known technical companies thrived here such as Huawei, DJI, Ten cent, ect. We have beautiful city view here, lots of beautiful parks, and near to the sea.
looking forward to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet more, to explore more ,and to know more.
The world is full of differences, communictaion is not to eliminate them, but to understand them. Couchsurfing offers this opportunity.

Interests

Music. I have learned piano since 3 and keep practising for nearly 20years, so music could be a part of my life.
Sports.Recently became fascinated with trail running and had participated in many competitions. For me the result is not the most important but the view alongside the trail could be a very unique memory that last a long time.
Traveling of course, to meet different people, to know different culture and to experience different style of life. The world is full of amazing things and life is full of possibilities and I just can't stop exploring it.

Music, Movies, and Books

There's no such thing for me as favorite music. I'm open for different kind of music from Chinese ancient music to present pop music. Jazz and folk music are also in my music list.
Harry Potter is my favorite series, including the "fantastic beats and where to find them". The magic world that Rowling created has accompanied me for the whole childhood and encourage me in my dark days.
The traditional Kungfu novels written by Jin Yong is my favourate of this kind. It built my basic cognition of our history and culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Attending sevral trail running competitions including the one into one of the biggest desert in China for three days. Just walking into the wild could give me a chance to feel the nature, to imagine the very first step we human took to spread all over this planet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share with you my cooking as I'm pretty good at cooking Chinese food.
Maybe also some simple Chinese speaking.
I love photographing so if it's also your habbit we can take wonderful pictures together and share our expereinces.
In addition to all above, I have a big treasure of Chinese culture to share with you. And I would be love to learn yours as well.
Or we can find what to teach, learn and share when we meet. It's always interesting when people meet and get unexpected sparkles.

Basically, my cooking skills, my knowledge that I learned through my traveling, and my time.
