About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finding truffles

ABOUT ME

I love traveling, needless to say. If my friends can describe me, I be that "weird, crazy, funny, and cool" person, well, mostly crazy and funny. I don't think I'm that weird..................
Love to meet new people and planning to dominate the world.
That aside, my current goal has been updated as I will be attending SDA Bocconi this upcoming fall in Milan. And I'm looking to make money off of you poor unsuspecting Italians. I'm just kidding, look at me. Chinese people are always honest and nice, we never cheat or lie............... :D
My boyfriend Giovanni claims he's from Torino, but I'm still convinced he's a contadino. We are looking to move to Milano and would love to meet new friends!

PHILOSOPHY

Live like there's no tomorrow, dream like you will live forever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

drawing sketches of my photos, traveling all over the world. being with my best friends, layin on the grass, enjoyin life, and making money.
i pretty much enjoy anything but sports really, not cause i'm a girl, but mainly because i'm VERY lazy.
--------------------------------
I love eating food at small street vendors.
I'm known for trying out weird food, if you can think of it, I've probably eaten it.
I have 2 rules when it comes to eating;
1. As long as it's not still alive when it's in my mouth, cause I think it's simply cruel to do that.
2. As long as there are no consequences I have to suffer from eating it.
