*******IMPORTANT NOTICE *********
Just 2 things before I introduce myself:

1- If you are racist, misogynist, extremist, please don’t meet me, don't host me and don't send me requests.

2- If you are looking for a"fun experience" or "hot night", I am not the person neither.
I am not using CS as a dating site. So please don’t send me messages if you are using it that way. It would be a waste of time for both of us. Thank you vey much.

Hello! I'm Bel. （or Jie, if you want a bit of challenge to pronounce Chinese name.)

I live in Changsha, Hunan, China.

I'm a primary school Chinese and Literature teacher. So if you’re interested in learning Chinese, I may can help you.

🌟🌟Changsha is not a typical tourist destination, but we do have the best cuisine and I’m happy to walk you around my city, make you know our culture and authentic food a bit more. If you’re interested in Chinese school life, it’s possible to show you around my workplace. Feel free to text me!😁
What’s more? If you’re heading to Zhangjiajie after traveling in Changsha, I can give some tips as I worked as a part-time guide 5 years ago there ;) 🌟🌟

Traveling is my favorite thing and luckily I have summer and winter vacation so I usually spend my time exploring new countries.

I am open-minded and always want to gain insight into different culture, history, food and many more. 💓

In China, we have an old saying “读万卷书，行万里路。” Traveling is like a way to encourage me read and think as much as I can. The more places I’ve been, the less I think I’ve already known. So I really enjoy being with locals and get to know the world a bit more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet more friendly people. To learn new things. To see how fantastic the world is!!!

Also, I can teach you Chinese if you want to.
