Hello guys.I am Natasha.also you can call me ZhangMin.It’s my Chinese name.I quitted my job and started my trip.backpacking explore the world.no return date planning yet.

I am a countryside girl:)
interested to learn how to survive in the wildlife.

I am a solo female hitch hiker:)
I have hitchhiking over 30 countries so far.Truck is my Transportation.I love to discover the kindness of strangers.
I like to participate in this world as a volunteer. Maintain a humble and learning mindset.

For me, travel means meeting people, joining salon,sharing ideas,cooking and eating together, etc. That's why I like CS so much : it's an easy way to meet interesting people abroad. As a guest, I try to find the good balance between not being intrusive and hanging out with my hosts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to work an online shop for several years in China.I am independent.After 18 years old, I am separated from my parents and live by myself.I use my save to continue my travel. I am planning a world trip.From Couchsurfing ，I can make friends . touch people .and live like locals. I am against the commercialization of CS, it’s a great invention that helps travelers build connections with the world. It’s not a free style.it means share & communicate. Exchange love & encouragement.🎄🎄🎄Worldview of world culture .On my travel ，friends they are more important than the landscape. CS experience: 95％ GREAT! 5％ NEGATIVE ** You might noticed I got 2 the same negative references here from male.They asked me to remove the ref to trade for not giving me a negative one.I refused.If I met bad situation, I will clam down and leave the house.
