I just graduated from the University of Michigan (studied Business and Informatics) and am exploring the world. I teach barre fitness classes, ballroom dance, and take pictures wherever I go. I love trying new food, and being in good company! You can see some of my previous adventures here: https://jiaxinmachine.com/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and hearing their stories, along with getting to a know a city through locals. I'm looking to share some great drinks and conversations about culture, life, business, marketing, dancing, photography, blogging... really anything at all.

I became a certified Zumba fitness instructor at 17.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can never let ourselves stop learning. I would love to learn from locals about new cities I've never been to, but also learn about the personal experiences of my hosts. Down to talk and share about relationships, life, anything really.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A listening ear, meals, drinks, cultural exchange and dialogue, riveting conversations about photography and lifestyle, and overall great experiences :)
