About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Walk with the lions ;D

ABOUT ME

I love learning new languages and cultures and meeting people who give me new insight and perspectives. Currently my job is to teach Chinese to non-Chinese speaking kids from Africa, UK, Nepal, India, Pakistan etc...It's so amazing to see how they improve day by day and get into a completely new culture. I actually also learn a lot from these little teachers of mine about their religious and languages ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Travelling enriches my soul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed with my friends twice. I like this idea how people from different places get to know each other in such a comfortable way, so I want to have some more experience of it ;) I'd love to be a host when I have spare time.

Interests

Movies - I'm a frequent movie-goer. Sometimes even when I'm travelling, I go to the cinema if I find some interesting films.

Photography - a beginner. Hope to make some nice pictures of my trips ;)

Languages - I like learning new languages but I have to admit that I'm really bad at pronouncing the rolled R!

Cooking - I like eating so I cook when I have time and no doubt, Julie and Julia is one my favourite films! (Okay now I'm feeling a bit hungry and I guess it's time to take a break from filling out this CS form)
