About Me

Hello, I graduated with a Master degree in Biotechnology at McGill university in Canada. It is my first time to really use it, after the nice CS experience that I come along with my friend Tiffany Wang (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/zhuzhu421). We have been in Five hosts in Bariloche, El Boson, Argentina and Puerto Montt, Paillaco, Chillan, Chile. The hosts treated us very friendly and they are all very nice to help us, even drive their cars to pick us up. We share our feelings, ideas and cook together, it is really an enjoyable experience to meet and make friends with the locals. Although my Spanish is not good, we try to communicate in English and Spanish together. Based on my pleasant experience in CS with my friend, I decide to fulfill my CS profile and explore and meet up with more adventures!

I love traveling and sharing experiences with all the travelers from all the world! I completed my undergraduate studies in the Netherlands, and I also did my internships in Heidelberg and Berlin, Germany as well as Hong Kong and Montreal, Canada. During the breaks and my gap year when I finished my Bachelor, I have been to most countries in Europe where I love the amazing landscapes in Iceland and Switzerland the most. And Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Nepal, where I love the peaceful and crystal sea in Thailand and trekking trails in Nepal.

In the same year, I started my graduate study in Montreal, Canada. During my time in McGill, I have been to Niagara Falls, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City in Canada, as well as New York, Boston, Chicago and Atlanta in the states. When you get a chance to visit Montreal I will host you and show you around in the city including the famous Mount Royal and McGill campus which just locate downhill.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2014, I had trekked to the EBC trail (Everest Base Camp) using 10days, and I stood up at the peak of 5660m. It was an amazing and incredible trekking experience that I had and I was really enjoying the feeling on the trail and challenge the abilities of myself. After the EBC, I went to Ko Tao in Thailand to have my PADI scuba diving training, this was really an unforgettable experience that I ever had which open a new world underwater to me. I enjoyed very much the crystal clear sea and beautiful white beaches there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook delicious Chinese cuisines and I also want to learn from you how to make the local dishes. We can talk about academics relating to biology and medicine, if you are interested. 🙂
