Hello! My name is Meiling, I am living and working in Shenzhen/China,

I enjoy reading, exercising (yoga, running, trekking), writing and recently developed a crush on coding!

Things that make me what I am today:

Extensive reading.
-- I cannot imagine a life without books. There was a time I was totally burnt inside, reading literally cured my depression.

Experiment with the vegetarian lifestyle.
-- Lasted for 4 years! Even though I did not continue now, such an experiment offered me a pathway to see what I can do with my body. Now I am assured that I have the autonomy of my mind.

Bicycling across 3 cities after I have just learned how to ride the bicycle,
-- It gave me lots of bruise mark to recollect and tons of bravery to move on.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Simply, to care, to share, to trust, and to experience.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Volunteering in a remote village school as an English teacher,
-- I was proud that I could encourage the kids to chase what they want. And I develop a pure friendship with some of the lovely children, it gave something so sensational I did not even get from my own siblings.

Moreover, I kinda experimented what I have never believed: sheer indifference to materialism, worldly disapprovals, the characteristics of Charles Strickland in the Moon and the Six Pence. It was just amazing!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I would be glad to Skype/WhatsApp teach you Mandarin, I used to have been a teacher.

I would like to know the splendid cultures of different countries from you, your ideas about traveling.

I can share with you my perspective about Chinese culture, my stories of traveling. I can give you tips on which places to see around and what food deserves a try if you are a foodie.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I have 1 spare double-bed room and 1 wooden sofa to offer.

I have a big balcony, in summer, I will set up a mattress on the balcony to jolly with the stars above.

I have a small kitchen if you need to cook. Pitifully, I am not a good cook as I eat very simply, mostly veggies, so I do not really know how to serve my guests with delicately prepared food. Forgive me on this. :-D

Feel free to contact me.
