About Me

I am a Chengdu girl (the Chinese city with pandas and spicy food!). I have lived, studied, and travelled around in Europe, U.S., and Asia for the last 7 years and called many places my home-- from a little castle by the sea in the South of Wales to Seoul and now Berlin. But I realize more and more that home is in myself and the people in my life ;)
I am now travelling with my university to East and South East Asia in 2023.
I am a dancer, filmmaker, and facilitator. Growing up in a city, I am learning more and more about the nature around me and finding wisdom in the natural world.
Good coffee, good food, good book, good movie, a good hike, wild dancing and good conversations always bring me life happiness!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find the best way to get to know a new place is meeting the people:) No matter what beautiful sights I see, great company makes the most mundane place interesting! Couchsurfing seems like the best way to make a new place feel more human and connectable to me<3
