If you are using couch surfing as tinder, my place is not for you. Using Couchsurfing as a way of getting into a girl's room and ask for sex is absolutely disgusting. If you are having such ideas, I kindly ask you to find other options.

About me:

Born in Harbin, raised in Shanghai. Just graduated after 4 years of studying in Japan, now I'm living in the Netherlands for masters in Bio Inspired Innovation.
Learning biology to become a designer.

I am an ENFP (Extraversion, Intuition, Feeling, Perception), therefore, it is never hard to become friend with me. I also love all types of topics, from science to art, from psychology to linguistics... There is barely anything in this world that gets me bored. I am not religious, but I know enough about religions to understand and respect.

I love listening to people's stories as well as sharing mine. Wondering around countries for adventures is definitely challenging. But of course, I enjoy challenges and unconventional lifestyles.

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had amazing experiences living with local hosts when I traveled to places so I thought that joining such community is a great way of giving it back! Meeting people who also share the same type of adventurousness, curiosity and optimism is just the best thing in the world!

I believe that everyone has a unique way of thinking and there is always something that I can learn from. I also believe the existence of the utopia and the utter trust between people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about Japanese/Chinese culture and share with you my thoughts as a global citizen. If you are interested, I can also teach you how to "draw" Chinese characters (kanjis in Japan).

I would like to learn about the places you have been to and how to travel there like a local! If you are by any chance a designer, a biologist, or working for an NGO, even if you are just doing multi-disciplinary works, I will be so excited to meet you and learn from you. Because you are the person I want to become in the future! Even if you are not, I would also like to learn about what you are interested in! If you know how to cook, please also teach me how to cook your local dishes.

We can share interesting facts about our culture and languages, our enthusiasm and hobbies. We can also share our favorite local songs and music. There are so many things to share in this wide world, and I am interested in almost all of them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories of my adventures with you, the cheap and good restaurants in the places I have explored, pictures of cats I met in my trips, and anything you would like me to help with!
