About Me

CURRENT MISSION Learn about the world and the people. Enjoy the present and treasure my friends and my family. ABOUT ME Studied in the US for university. Currently a Masters student in UK. PHILOSOPHY Keep learning, keep open-minded. Bring happiness to the people around you. Enjoy the happiness brought by the people around you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel people in different perspectives(different countries for example) don't often get chance to hear from people of different perspectives. And this segregation of thoughts leaving people farther away from each other. The main source we could hear about others is through social media, which often include biases. Therefore it is hard to get to know what actually happens. I want to see if this face-to-face talking can help people learn a bit more about each other. The real life, not through the reflection of media. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have both surfed and hosted, as well as just hang out with people.

Interests

I do Classical Chinese dance and contemporary, jazz, tango, hip hop, bollywood dance, belly dance, salsa, ... I also enjoy cooking Chinese food
