About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Prepare my visa application for a master's study in Kassel.
Find a cozy place to stay in Kassel.

ABOUT ME
I love traveling, indulging in delicious food, and embracing life with a positive mindset. I'm always up for a chat, so feel free to reach out for any tips or to send a request. "Don't be a tourist, be a traveler!" That's my mantra.
Couchsurfing has been a transformative part of my life, connecting me with incredible people from all walks of life.

PHILOSOPHY
Stay curious, stay kind, and keep exploring.
Set my own standards and be respectful to the people and environment around me.
I strive to stay positive and not orient myself around social rules and image.

BEING a surfer
I'm clean and organized, and always ready to follow your room rules.
I respect the space and the guidelines you set.

BEING a host
• I'm here to meet, exchange ideas, and explore different cultures. If you're only looking for a free place to crash, you might want to look elsewhere.
• Please inform me in advance if your plans change or if you won’t be able to make it to my place.
• I cherish my guests and respect their time. I appreciate it when people read my profile because it's written for you. To show that you did, please start your request message with "QIANG."
