Hi there!After studied in France I come back to my city Chongqing for several months. I’d like to show you beautiful Chinese culture and try to understand yours. It will be an interesting and artistic trip hahaha

From November to December, I'll be in Xiamen, Fujian, another city in China. Please be careful if you're sending request to stay in Chongqing;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Media makes us live in a pseudo-environment which tells us ”the truth” that we supposed to believe. Even we are in the same planet, we cannot really know a country and its cultures only by the internet, news or without talking to local people. I want to chat with the people who really live and make history of this city, to know the local culture and share mines ;-)
And I truly feel that each time we meet a new friend, our lives continue in another way.

Boating in the Black Sea like a hero in the Ancient Greek myths.

Teach, Learn, Share

Leggo dance together
Leggo board game together
Leggo wandering in the city and taking pictures
Leggo concert/theater/museum together
Leggo cycling together
Leggo climbing trees together
Or reading poetry
Or making tea
Or making stories
Or drawing random things
Or nothing just relax
Be free~
