Hi!

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Jinwei, and my English name is Thomas. I was born in China but I've lived in South Africa for more than a decade. Basically, I'm an Africasian.

Last year, I've completed my high school studies. Now, I'm about to set off my third study destination: England, where I'll be studying Mechanical Engineering in London.

To be honest, I'm nervous to leave everything here behind, traveling to a new country with new ways of life. Am I ready? No. Will I ever be ready for the ever-changing nature of life? No.

Therefore I shall start now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to learn about another country is by interacting directly with everyone there. Being naturally curious, I really love learning about you, your way of life, and most importantly, why you're also on Couchsurf!
