A little about background:
My parents are Chinese, so I have acquired some of the Chinese norms and values, but they only taught me a chinese dialect called Wenzhounese, so I don't speak Mandarin.

My nationality is Dutch because I was in born in the Netherlands, but I grew up in Germany.

About six years ago, I moved from Germany to the Netherlands to study. During my study I went a year abroad: 5 months in Shanghai, China to study Mandarin and 6 months Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for my internship.

I am hospitable and really open-minded. I like to learn about other cultures. I can be quiet, but I can also be energetic. I am highly adaptable when it comes to being in a new environment.

After Malaysia, I started to realize that I really like to travel, which I'd like to practice more. Generally, I am open to try new things, unless we are talking about consuming worms or spiders.

I also enjoy having conversations/debates accompanied by beer or a cup of tea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To really experience the countries/ cities that I'm going to, instead of only having a glance at them as a tourist.

In addition, I like to host people :)

Interests

The few things I currently can think of: psychology, culture, globalization, innovation,

I recently started with diving and currently learning how to longboard. The last one is more like a work in progress.

• culture
• environment
• beer
• traveling
• scuba diving
• psychology

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
I like good music ;) (don't know how to phrase it otherwise. My taste ranges from classic (especially Ludovico Einaudi) to deep house.

I like books about the human behaviour/human mind.

Similar to my taste for music, I like to read and watch anything that can be considered to be good.

Literatures and movies that are paradox and/or are playing with your mind are especially interesting to me.

BTW: any recommendations on some good literatures and/or movies are always appreciated :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to share my experiences with my peers; hoping to have enriched their knowledge, and also hoping that they can enrich mine.

I am considered to have quite a neutral and critical mindset; so, if you just want someone to talk to... just shoot. (unless it's about relationship problems, because I am really bad at that one)
