I am Eve Zhang (23 years old) who has a bachelor's degree in Anthropology and will get my master's degree in Higher Education this summer. Now I am in Finland as an independent researcher. I am taking this gap year for traveling among European countries.

If you are a local host also passionate about cross-cultural communication and interested in Chinese culture or cooking, please feel free to contact me on WhatsApp at +86 13599502270.

For the apartment, I hope to have a private room with a separate bathroom, and it can be a shared apartment or a separate bed in the living room. I can share Chinese cooking, culture, and my knowledge of educational anthropology with the host. I don’t smoke and I don’t have any pets.

I am a quiet reading person and work as a part-time Oral English teacher online. I have a clear career path for my future and my own brand business. I am quite open-minded and willing to talk with people from different backgrounds. I enjoy cross-cultural communication since I was an exchange student at the University of Hong Kong in 2019 fall and I was invited to be a visiting student at the University of Oxford in 2020.

For the incoming semester, I mainly plan to apply for a Ph.D. program abroad(haven't decided on Europe or America or anywhere suitable) in educational Anthropology/comparative education.

If you would like to host me, meet up, sightsee, or have a coffee, let me know. If I pass by, I will be happy to meet you.

Looking forward to hearing back from you and starting an interesting conversation with you.
