Hi!!! I am Linly, an easy-going and very optimistic Chinese girl full of curiosity, energy and courage. :D I am now volunteering in a NGO at Shanghai and will stay here as an intern for Parthenon-EY till September 1st or so. I enjoy traveling cheaply with couch-surfing, meeting new friends, listening, and sharing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living with 5 roommates when I study at Beijing Normal University was always a nice memory for me. Living with friends and helping each other are really fun and meaningful.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I like dancing and music. I like reading books, watching documentaries, I love critical thinking. I love nature and adventure. I enjoy listening to others stories and sharing mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I DIY my application to foreign university and successfully got offers from ALL the university I applied, including University of California Los Angeles, University of Washington, Boston College(with 10,000$ scholarship), and so on. I will go to UCLA this fall to study Comparative Education ( and I just graduated from Beijing Normal University major in education/pedagogy. )

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to share my stories if you are interested in. Such as, my intern experience at World Council of Comparative Education Society, volunteering for Columbia University, working at USC(University of Southern California), and Duke University; my teaching experience in schools of urban areas and villages in China; my experiences and skills in applying foreign schools...
