About Me

shy, nervous, not very confident...All these can be a first image of me.
(No, don't be so negative about yourself!)
But, I want to be a better person, want to be more friendly, more independent and more thoughtful:)
It's a long way to go, but I'm still on my way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

want to explore the world, want to meet more different people~

Interests

reading, writing some short articles, music, and thinking of new ideas!
Cooking and baking have become my new hobby!
And I start to learn Dutch recently, absolutely my new interest. But I'm still at a beginner level, so I choose not to put it in the language list:)))

  • culture
  • writing
  • books
  • cooking
  • baking
  • reading
  • music
  • language exchange

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: The Wall by Pink Floyd, Les Miserable (the musical), Cello Concerto Op.85 played byJacqueline du Pré , A Chinese band Zhaoze
There's a time I'm very crazy about these four. So I list them here. But yes, I like listening to music. To me, music is a good company and close friend.

Movies: The Truman Show,Dogville,Jurrasic World,Interstellar, The series of Harry Potter...
not very enjoy watching movies, I have to say...

Books: Ah, very hard to list here, because mostly I read in Chinese...Two books I enjoy very much recently are the Rosie Project and Istanbul.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have to say, not very much, because I used to live in my comfort zone...But studying in the UK now is definitely one of them. Before thisThis year has given me so much new and makes me want to experience more!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: What can I teach? Hard to answer. All I know the best is maybe Chinese things...sounds a little boring maybe :( So I can teach Chinese and a little bit culture. I probably can teach you cook some easy Chinese dishes. HA, I got an idea, I probably can teach how to write Chinese characters, you know, as a game...
Learn: different cultures, different ideas, different stories... I'm interested in all these!
Share: Oh, a Chinese band Zhaoze. Big fan, I always introduce their music to my friends. Here's a link.
