About Me

Almost 20 years stay in Beijing, 1 year for exchange study in Salamanca, Spain, and now here I am, in New York!! I have been to 15 countries and more than 30 cities (I guess but have never counted :P), I used to say that I am one who loves traveling until I started my couch surfing few months ago. I love to try new things, and I am outgoing and tough (at least I do think so... XD). I will keep measuring the world with my footprint and be welcome to surfers and hosts for their special and fantastic stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cuz I am studying in Latin American Education and doing some papers about indigenous communities in Bolivia. I decided to go there and feel the life by myself. In January of this winter, I went to Bolivia, as my first stop for backpacking, with the guy whom I have crush on. Everything was super amazing. The sunrise and sunset in salt flats in Uyuni, snowy days in Mountain Huayna Potosí, bicycling on death road and one shot of Absinthe in la ciudad blanca, Sucre. It took us two weeks to explore this country and it was still not enough. The meaning of a wonderful journey is who stays with you and who you are on the road. This is the first time, I go to a place with a such long distance even without thinking. And it did deserve to visit.
