I am Naara, I am a kind and outgoing girl. I grew up in the most beautiful city in China. When I was 18, I quit my university in Shanghai and decided to move to Milan, Italy all alone by myself. I start a new BA degree and this is how my new journey starts as well. My first solo trip was in Paris, and then whenever I had the time I am always traveling around. I went to most place in Italy, and other many countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Denmark, Germany, Netherland, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, North Macedonia...

Now I am 23 years old. Traveling is already a part of my life. During my trip, I find out most fun things to discover is the people living in that land, from them you see the unique way of their thinking; you will understand more about the culture and the history of this country.

Besides traveling, I have a side job as a brand strategist. If you running a business, it's an advantage for you, I can give a lot of advice about images, visual design, marketing strategy... (to be more specific: I can design Logo, business card, website, having advertisement ideas, taking photos, videos, strategy planning.) If these would help you, I would like to share that knowledge and skills.

At this moment I rent a room in the center of Milan with a grandma 👵 I am not able to host anyone, but if you want to meet up I would love to, free feel to drop me a message

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reason that I am on Couchsurfing is, to get to know people actually live in the land where I am traveling.
Sharing the life experience by living in different places;
Sharing the story that normal tourist don't know;
Visiting some spot even the locals haven't seen yet.

I think if people travel to a new place, just go to see the tourist place and go to a nice cafe, then go to a restaurant, and go back hotel to sleep.
That is not called traveling to me, traveling for me is having a hungry about the place you will visit, and get to know their culture and their people.
