About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling the whole Europe :-) Learning Spanish!

ABOUT ME

I'm Always ready to be a backpacker.I come from China, now studying in Israel, I like making friends with people all over the world, during which I learnt a lot about other countries, inspiring me a lot to explore the whole world. I'm a Civil Engineering student but I'm also an artist, I love architecture, history, Music, Movies and I've learnt to direct Movies. Film director is my dream job and I believe as an artist, I need to both read as many books as I can and go further in order to have a better understanding of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have worked in AIESEC before, an international exchange organization. I organized an international voluntary project called "Dare To Dream" in a rural village in China to recruit volunteers from all over the world to give a summer school to the local kids there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Chinese and English -- the basic two languages I speak, I'm crazy about movies and sometimes I direct movies myself, I can teach you how to make a video, how to photograph. And the most importantly, I love sharing what my experience with you, I'm a Chinese and I love our culture, which is totally different from the culture in any other culture. At the same time, I've studied and lived in western countries, so I know the western culture as well. I'm always willing to tell you more about China, about Israel, the two countries I know very well but still remained unknown to the outside world to give you a new perspective of another country.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a nice apartment in Haifa now, living with another exchange student. I have a big balcony myself, where you have a huge couch and personal space. It would be fun to meet you here :) Welcome to send me any request!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Jordan, Netherlands, Palestine, Singapore, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland
