Overview
About Me
I am an inquisitive learner and teacher. I grow up in a rural village in Hunan province, but my footsteps has been spreaded in the US, Macao, rural Yunnan, Anhui province. Currently I am in Shanghai working as a teacher.
I learnt history in a public university in the US for two years. I enjoyed this experience.
I worked as a volunteer teacher in Yunnan province for two years. With my colleagues, we started a library and reading project and a dental project which aimed to promote dental hygiene awareness. I would like to share more with you about my experience in Yunnan.
I also worked in a home school in Shanghai for half a year, teaching kids with special needs.
I like reading, yoga, travel, music. I like to play piano. I am open-minded yet deeply rooted in Chinese culture and tradition. I want to learn more about how people of other cultures view this world.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have been a Couchsurfing member for about five years. However, I lost my former account. Thus, I need to start again. I like to meet people from different cultures. As a young person, I have received warm accommodation from Couchsurfing community and have returned this kindness to the CS community. Currently, I am living in school dorm, thus, I am unable to host CSs, but I am open to meet CS.
