About Me

Majored in teaching Chinese language as the second language in the university,which allowed me to get contacts from people from such diverse background,and luckily I am able to pass down the fun of learning Chinese to each person that might be interested:) To experience the teaching life, I have had an internship in Stuttgart for 8 months,and thanks to this short-term job that gave me chance to travel around Europe and have met many people that influenced me on different aspects.
Since two years ago,I have transferred to Padova in Italy with my boyfriend.
Although I still have some fears and doubts toward my life based on a foreign country, I hope I can transform this uncertainty into the energy that push me keep going on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I traveled alone to the Seville during the ester holiday to join their important Semana Santa (the Holy Week)which is internationally renowned for the solemn but decorative processions during Holy Week.
The last day of this festival I needed to take the couch at 8 a.m. heading to Salamanca. I ride on their city bike from my hotel to center and and I didn't know the mass parade of the night before was still going on until I found I was stuck inside the crowd...having no choice I ride all the way along the river and went around all the city to arrive to the couch station, I could not believe it but I made myself right in time!
