Overview
About Me
College student at UW-Madison studying Statistics and Mathematics.
Zibo -> Beijing -> Searcy, Arkansas -> Madison, Wisconsin -> New York
I lived the majority of my life in Beijing, China, but I enjoy big cities, small towns, countryside, and wilderness equally.
I couch surfed once with my friend at La Crosse and fell in love with it. That's why I got this account and ready to explore the CS world!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Just started this year because I want to see more parts of the world.
I haven't travelled to much part of the world because I'm normally the friend that goes along instead of the planner. This year I want to take initiatives :)
At the same time, I want to meet more people on the trip, because getting to know the locals seems to be a much better way to learn about a city.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite movie is Inception. I also like 3 idiots and almost all disney movies.
Love BBC Sherlock Holmes and Criminal Minds. I also like watching light comedies that brings laugh to people.
I enjoy almost all genres, while recently I listen to folk rock, indie folk, and pop more.
I love Adele, Sia, Jake Bugg, and the Beatles.
I like Birdy, Lana Del Rey, Katy Perry, etc.
I also enjoy classic orchestra, especially Mozart and Tchaikovsky.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Bungee Jumping -- funnest thing!
Studying abroad is also an amazing experience - learning about another culture and getting to know people from diverse backgrounds is unprecedentedly amazing!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you Chinese and I'm learning German and hopefully French in the future. I also love photography and would love to learn more about it.
I love meeting people! The idea of meeting people from the places you travel to or when they travel to your city is truly fascinating and I can't wait to start!
