Hello! I'm Ke, a 24-year-old backpacker from a small town in Southern China with over a million residents.

I spent an incredible two years on a working holiday in New Zealand, and now I’m diving into my next adventure in Australia!

I discovered my passion for hiking at 22, and since then, I’ve trekked in New Zealand and Nepal. There's something exhilarating about being outdoors, surrounded by nature. While I've struggled with surfing, I'm working on building that core strength.

With an open mind and a curious heart, I love exploring the world and learning from different cultures. Engaging in conversations about cultural topics is one of my favorite ways to broaden my perspective. I’m also committed to being a considerate Couchsurfing guest.

I've experienced a variety of activities—one of the most memorable being a two-week sailing trip in New Zealand. Unfortunately, the boat's battery completely failed while I was battling severe seasickness, forcing us to turn back and make an early landing. I also gave Muay Thai a shot in Krabi, though I struggled to find a personal reason to fight. I'll keep exploring and trying new things—after all, life is long and full of opportunities.

I believe in the concept of 缘 (yuan), which represents the threads of destiny that connect us all, regardless of distance. I look forward to meeting new people and sharing experiences that enrich our journeys!

Music, Movies, and Books

Faye Wong, Eason Chan and Tanya Chua are some of my favourite ballad singers. I listen to K-pop when I work for fruit picking.
Films: Hsiao-hsien Hou, Edward Yang, Isao Takahata...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a female from a village, I’m proud that I’ve been able to meet so many people in the world and live in so many places on my own

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bring my own sleeping bag and pillow, so I don’t expect a luxury stay like in Hilton—just a warm floor is perfect for me. I pride myself on being tidy and organized, and I’m happy to pitch in with cleaning, gardening, or even taking your dog for a walk (which I’d absolutely love to do!). I also enjoy cooking and would be delighted to prepare a delicious vegetable stir-fry for you.
