About Me

I am a very active, easygoing, adventurous and nice person, being curious about different kinds of cultures and ways of life, I fall deeply in love with travel, I am open to everything and loving sharing my own stories and listening to others sharing their point of views. I am a romanist so I somehow believed that people we met in life who we can get along quite well or connected can really make a difference to our life! I like adventure and taking risks. I love to be with people, but really admire being alone as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanna meet more people and get to know more about different cultures. I often travel alone, but I am never lonely cuz I made so many nice friends during my trip and I even met one of my besties from Switzerland, somehow travel just surprises you and bring out the best version of your own. Making new friends during my trip is one of the most amazing part of journey, it's about sharing different ideas about life, discovering yourself, sharing love and happiness! The reason why I decided to try couch surfing is that I met a Swiss guy from a couch surfing event, I soon fell in love with his stories and he even met his Chinese girlfriend on couchsurfing, the point is he’s so optimistic and wise, couchsurfing brings so much inspiration and he’s really happy to share and be unique, I think traveling should not just be like taking pictures of a new city, it’s more about meeting new people and try something new and think differently with all the experience you have and stories you have known from others, these can make you wiser and stronger!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music and remix: can't stop the feelings, I wanna know, cheap thrill, music is part of my life and I love drinking coffee and listening to music at the same time, it's such a leisure for me.
I am interested in all kinds of books about psychology, also I have watched a lot of movies and series: how I met your mother and friends are two series that I have watched twice so far, I just love them and they're classic.
