I am a graduate student who majors in English and International Relationship from China, and I am taking an exchange year in University of Coimbra in Portugal. I am also a new host in Coimbra. I like speaking Chinese and listening to stories of other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my housemates in Portugal was a host. There was a Welsh boy who visited Portugal and stayed one night in our house. We talked and laughed together. It was a great time. Besides, I really enjoy meeting new friends, and value it more than visiting the places of interest sometimes.
