Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting cool people! Making friends!

2023.08
I longed for the couch surfing a long time ago. I think it's the best way to make friends, integrate into local life and exchange culture when traveling. But when I was younger, I never had the courage to try, until recently I planned a solo trip for nearly one month, and finally decided to start the adventure of being a couch surf. My plan is to travel from Ireland to Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Czech Republic and Germany. I look forward to meeting interesting people and things on the way.
2023.09
I finished my solo trip this month, which is so amazing! So I want to keep trying. My plan for October is doing working away in Finland for two weeks, so look forward to meet more people!
2023.10
Hey, I am doing work away in a hippie community in Finland which is so fun. While the place I lived is far from the town so I am not able to meet too many people. After that I am going to Italy, any cool recommendations around Venice could be appreciated. (So I am not in Dublin the whole month, not able to hangout with people in Ireland.

Btw, I only started to use CS in September 2023, and I am still on the way since that time, so not able to host any guests right now. Will definitely host gusts in the future after my trip.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am open to most music, such as indie, pop, rock, etc., but there is no particular favorite. I do like listening to music but I'm pretty dull at remembering song titles and artists LoL. All music recommendations are welcomed, I hope to expand my playlist! If you want, I would like to show you some interesting music from China as well.

I enjoyed movies so much! During the trip, I hope to have the opportunity to have a few movie nights with the host! I like Quentin's movies, and movies with reverse plots, such as Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch and Trainspotting. Any touching movie is suitable for me, cause I am an emotional person. :) Documentaries also fascinate me.

I'm not good at reading, I mean I do read occasionally, but admittedly not too much. I'm gradually reading more, so if there is any english book recommendation which is suitable for non english native speakers, that would be very grateful!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the amazing thing is that I made a short experimental film about women. I don’t consider myself a knowledgeable feminist, but I have enough empathy, and I am willing to use my perception and insights to convey my understanding of the relationship between women and society or the world. This short is kinda abstract as it takes place in the near future.
Anyway, if you are interested in women-related topics, or any girl with unique experience need a listener, please ask me to meet up! I am sure we will have an amazing conversation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Chinese if you like.
Besides, I love photography, so if you love taking pics, I can definitely help!
Maybe some stories during my trip :)

I hope to exchange culture and language during the trip, and if there is any occasion that I can learn some French or German, that would be perfect!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Maybe my Chinese mixed Irish accent English :) hahahaha I am joking
Not sure, but I am talkative usually, so I am sure we can figure out something when talking.
