Hey🌻
My name is Lyu

At the age 18 I started my journey :)
Traveling is what inspires me, gives me light, strength, motivation and boundless love !
Study the culture, mentality, traditions, life of different countries, meet new interesting people, look at the versatile beauty of the world, get a huge amount of emotions and catch the moment — this is the treasure !
It would be great to find cool people here and talk about everything, I would really like to hear story of your life and have fun together !

I'm a model and photographer, I LOVE cinematography (when I was a kid I thought that when I grew up I would become a director and I will write books. Well, I haven't grown up yet and everything is still to come haha !)
I really love to walk, I like to walk randomly through cities I don't know, to go where ambiance seems beautiful and cozy, to consider the architecture and people, and to take pictures. I'm enjoing this life and wathcing around and it's like I'm collecting every moment in a huuuge book ! So let's go for a walk, let's make a picnics, ride a bikes together, play tennis, board games, billiards, bowling and so on !! AND ! I love to learn something new, maybe we can teach each other something ! I'm dreaming to learn how to play on the handpan for example !
I’m a vegetarian, practicing yoga, I do transcendental meditation and would like to hear your experience if you meditate too🌱
Also I'm part of the LGBTIQ+ community

Part of 2022 I was traveling by hitchhiking in Turkey and now I'm dreaming about new chapter of my journey, so I really would like to meet nice friends in new part of my life !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here because it’s a center of immersion into the real life of people who live in a completely different worlds, with different cultures, mentality, different languages (I’m trying to learn languages when I come to new countries and, you know, sometimes I can definitely say those words "humm, there are no such words in my language ! We don’t speak that way and simply don’t express such a thought in that way" and it fascinates me !
Each person in this world is absolutely unique, like different universes with different rules of their existence. And how big is the part in us that is influenced by the particularities of our different cultures? And if you collect a lot of these values from different parts of the world, how versatile can we be?
I’m here because I don't wanna be a tourist in this life
