Hey this is a girl pursuing her Hollywood dream in California! I grew up in Northeast China and moved to US for my filmmaking dream. I mainly do directing and editing, and have worked on lots of films that have been accepted to various film festivals. Other than film, my passion also includes breakdancing, skating, surfing, reading, and many more! I am in love with wild adventures and living life to the fullest potential. I am in college but I'm taking a gap year to go backpacking. I will be traveling through India, Thailand and Vietnam with an awesome friend, Sam, whom I met in Thailand last year while backpacking. Excited for the new experiences, stories and many more amazing people I am going to encounter along my way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a wonderful community where people who love travelling can connect with each other. I enjoy meeting new people and share our cultures, perspectives and stories, going on random adventures and creating beautiful memories.
Let's break the boundaries created by politics, geography and language, and bring together the humanity and love that are supposed to be shared by all human race ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

The Lord of the Rings are my favorite. They gave me hope and faith during my darkest time and inspired me to become a filmmaker.
I love reading books, from thrillers, fantasies to biographies, etc. Stories of Sherlock Holmes, books by Steven King, and the biography of Steven Jobs are some of my favorite.
I listen to all kinds of music. Recently listen to Ed Sheeran a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Directed a film and had it screened on Santa Barbara International Film Festival with two thousand audiences! xD

Teach, Learn, Share

I am from China so I can teach you some basic Mandarin and Chinese culture; and I lived in US for a while so I can also tell you how it is like in US ;)
If you like being active, I can teach you breakdance and skateboard. I can take you to surf if there's a beach nearby🌊 Although I am not a certificated surfing instructor, I have taught quite a few friends to surf and some of them could stand up on their first day :p
Besides that, I also have a thousand stories to tell, collected from all my crazy adventures, and I am still building the collection, you will be one of the chapters😉
And, I can show you the films I have made, with behind the scene photos and videos haha🎬

What I look for in traveling is new experiences, different cultures, perspectives and interesting stories. As a filmmaker, I would like to see the world and create films with my vision. I would like to learn from local people about the lifestyles, the food and languages, and those charming stories around the place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Strong passion for life, positivity and smile, unlimited energy like the Sun, and a thousand stories from my adventures.
A sincere and genuine heart.
