I was a teacher teaching English grammar at a middle school in China. After 6 years of working, it suddenly dawned on me that I couldn't end up my life like this, I want to see the world, to know and make friends with different people of different cultures. So I quit my job and came to France for a whole new experience, learning French.. I will continue my master after I can speak French fluently. I'm ready to take adventures and try interesting things I haven't experienced before.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have no experience of couchsurfing before, but I really want to travel around the world and meet different people with as little cost as possible. So my friend in troduce couchsurfing to me. I love the idea and I feel excited to try it. And I believe all the people here like traveling as well.

Interests

I like learning different languages and I'm interested in different cultures. I love scuba diving, and also running and bike riding. I will learn swimming in the near future. I enjoy delicious food all over the world. And I like volunteering.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies very much, I like all kinds of movies. But as for thrillers, I need a companion to watch together. I like Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Audrey Tautou and Jean Reno. My favorite movies are The Purchase of Happiness, Seven Pounds, Intouchable and Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain. I also like TV series, Friends is my favorite. I have watched it for more than 2 times. As for music, I like all pieces of Jason Mraz. I didn't read many books, but I will when I feel very peaceful. As for reading, Le Voleur d'Ombres by Marc Levy, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Does getting drunk and sent home by the police count?

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning French in Nantes, a very beautiful and peaceful city in western France. I like it here very much. I really hope I can speak this beautiful language soon. I like the life style here, and of course the delicious food and dessert as well. I don't have a lot of experience of traveling before, but I believe I will after times sharing and learning from different friends, from you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make some very tradition Chinese food. I can teach you Chinese and Chinese culture as well if you want. If you want to travel to China I can give you some advice. If you are going to the city I live, which called Shaoguan, a small city in Guangdong Province, I can help you find a host family to stay without any cost. And I'm willing to help as much as I can, and share with you as much as I know.
