Hello! my name is Lijia and I'm from Italy. I'm originally from China then moved in Milan.
I am currently an undergraduate architecture student on an exchange program in Syracuse University, NY. My home univeristy is in Spain. I had the luck to be raised in a multicultural evironment, I think this opened up my mind.
I'm trying to travel as much as I can while in the States, even if I don't have much spare time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because one of my current housemates had a really good experience and introduced it to me. It's a good way too meet people and at the same time visit wonderful places.
I haven't got the change to host yet, because of lack of space in my flat.

Interests

I like to watch movies at the cinema and plays at the theatre. I like to read and surf the internet. I spend most of my spre time on youtube. The power of social media fascinates me.
I played the violin for 8 years and I practiced archery for one.
