Noodle eater, Moleskiner, fangirl, cosmos reader, cinephile, nerd. :)
I'm pursuing a bachelor degree in Physics at NYU Shanghai, spending 15-16 academic year in NYC. Grew up in Shanghai, China.

I live in my school dorm in Greenwich Village, so unfortunately I'm unable to host. But I'm more than happy to show you around the village!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always loved the idea of couchsurfing. Best way of travel. I'm new here, mostly because I'm not a frequent traveler yet. I can't wait to host in future!

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I didn't travel a lot before college but I'm kinda good at adapting to new environments. The first time I traveled abroad, I flew to NYC from Shanghai on a 20-hour flight. Then, a few hours after my arrival, I left NYC with my friends and went on a one-month, 3000-mile road trip across America. I've been living and studying in NYC for a school year since 2015.
