我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

For me, Couchsurfing isn’t just about travel—it’s about living the stories I write. Meeting people from around the world helps me capture the authenticity of human connection in my books. I find real-life stories, unique experiences, and perspectives that enrich my writing and help me better understand the world.

兴趣

As an author, I’m deeply passionate about reading and writing, constantly exploring different genres to expand my creative horizons. But beyond that, I have a profound interest in meeting new people and hearing their unique stories. Every person I encounter offers a fresh perspective, and those conversations often find their way into my writing. I believe that human experiences, when shared, hold the power to inspire, and it’s through these connections that I’m able to bring authenticity and depth to the characters and narratives I create.

音乐、电影和书籍

I’m a big fan of soulful music that tells a story and evokes emotions, the kind you can lose yourself in. When it comes to movies, I love historical fiction and thrillers—films like The Imitation Game or Inception that keep you on the edge of your seat while also exploring deeper themes. As for books, I gravitate toward romance and historical fiction, but I also have a soft spot for gripping thrillers. I’m a huge fan of authors like Dan Brown, especially The Da Vinci Code, and The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, which beautifully captures human resilience and emotion.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

One amazing thing I’ve done is publish seven books, earning recognition as an international award-winning author. Sharing my stories with readers across the world and receiving prestigious awards for my work has been incredibly fulfilling. Each book represents a piece of my journey, and knowing that my writing has made an impact on people’s lives is a reward beyond words.
