Hi, this is Nouri. I am an ethnic minority Uyghur (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghurs) from Urumqi, Xinjiang, China. I am currently a student in a business school in Paris. My couchsurfing experiences have been amazing. I have stayed extended days in host's place just because we had such a good time so I found myself enjoy more flexible travel. Couchsurfing is such a nice platform to meet people and I believe staying with local is the best way to travel around and get to know more about this world. I like to talk to people, and I am more of a calm person. I like to meet with people and listen to their stories which makes me a good listener.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first learned couch surfing on my French class couple of years back and signed up for it right away.
Ever since I starting travelling with it, it has been fantastic. I met some people who have become friends, I had some really nice conversations, ans still keep in touch with some of them. I enjoy conversations with people.

Interests

I have many interests, I like culture and any cultural related stuff. I play some sports, table tennis probably is what I am good at. I am into any kind of spiritual things. And i have many interests to be explored. And I believe that if u r not interested in something is because u can not do well or u don't know much about it, so I keep an open mind.
