I have visited over 50 countries around the world but my desire to travel never stops. I currently live in Portland, OR. Originally I am from Qingdao, China. I studied transportation and urban planning. I enjoy cities and architecture but also nature and outdoors. As a free spirit traveler, I enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds.

I love learning languages. I believe that language should never be a barrier and I would love to exchange languages with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
