About Me

I am a product designer + college student who’s slightly obsessed with going to museums and movies. I bring my sketch book everywhere I go and I am crazy about typography. Also an avid foodie who's very into cooking and baking.
A history major, I experience the world as a socially constructed and historically contingent entity.
Currently breaking everything I know about the world and couchsurfing has been a great way for me to meet people with different perspectives that challenge my existing worldview. It’s been fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I am a college student (hint hint) and I like to meet local people! As a student at Minerva, I believe in cultural immersion and I hope my travel experience is authentically local.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left the traditional school system to be a part of a education/social experienment ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach how to cook authentic Chinese food!! Also basic graphic design skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My passion and curiosity! Experience in working at a start up in SF/Bay Area, thoughts in online learning and education innovation.
I also cook pretty good Chinese and south East Asian dishes if you’re up for a home made meal! :)
Can also offer custom lettering pieces / teach you how to do lettering. Check out my work here: qiqixu.co
