Hey! I’m Jasmine.Currently living in Hangzhou,a beautiful city in China. I work freelance as a production designer of films,short series and ads.
My friends would describe me as nuanced, observant, a good listener and a joy to bring to people. Maybe you'd be interested to find out more for yourself.
I had never thought of traveling around the world before earlier this year. But now, I had never felt more strongly that traveling around the world was so attractive and achievable, so off I went, and the journey of discovery began.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The same answer as the question ‘why are you climbing the mountain’Cause it is there’, and I’m wondering what’s up/out there.
In earnest, I believe that getting along with people is the best part of the journey, and it leaves a mark on the memory deeper than anything. I can’t be sure(since I’m new here), but maybe Couchsurfing would be a unique way of meeting people, with the potential to quickly bond and build trust,with respect,of course.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Step out of comfort zone and welcome the unknown. I know it'll be scary at first, but once take that step, everything will work out. ‘When you come to the bridge, you will cross it. ‘Just like the saying goes.
