Best Mandarin teacher, healer, ex sino-french translator, guitar player, northern Hokkien. My students and friends said I’m a cool girl, sincere, smart, thoughtful, professional, helpful, cute, mature and naive, straightforward and weird sometimes haha. I regard myself as a romantic, brave, extreme rational & sentimental person.

About my living habits, I’m an early bird with music and intense schedule during workdays, sometimes I really need “me time”, don’t be upset about my silence. That’s better for me to keep an ease state during hosting. I’d love to offer a place, but not always available for accompanying and chatting.

I’m a feeling person. I’m trying to host someone stay longer and really get to know each other better and learn from each other through experiencing sth together. I basically prefer to go Dutch of payment caused by hanging out together. I love to make some sincere, creative, vivid and “wild” friends. Good communication and slow chatting help me think and relax. Proposing a funny “adventure” would attract me to accept the requests.

I’m staying and teaching in Yangshuo from November, 2023, till maybe September, 2024. Contact me easier by WeChat: therapistYu

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve been Shanghai, Yangshuo, Kunming, Tengchong, Rizhao, Qinghai, Lanzhou, Dunhuang by hitchhiking during 2012-2015, surprised and frightened by some dangerous and funny experiences. I started to try CS because of safe issue and met my soulmate here during 2018 and we are still best friend. I’m open to do more spiritual interaction with people and to know better the world by making friends.
