Hello there, Marhaba, 你好！
I'm an easygoing person with deep love to explore the world and share stories from people :)

My family gave me this name, Sonya, pronounced exactly the same as in English, written in Mandarin with its meaning 'Songs of Asia.'

I'm horrible at remembering names. So I usually know people by listening to their stories. Then I won't forget them anymore. From time to time I put those stories into my blog, hoping one day I can publish a travel journal that tells bittersweet things in all walks of life. I'm generally a good storyteller.

I am kinda new to CS, but I've had lots of experience meeting new people while traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My belief is that traveling isn't all about the beautiful scenery, it's about learning being friendly to the people and the environment.

Interests

Reading, Cooking (I always buy food/spices and try local recipes!), Hiking & Cycling, writing a blog,
Marvel series

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach -
Flexible lessons of Mandarin, if you will
Traditional Chinese therapy and some easy self-use massage to cast away fatigue

Learn and share
I love to learn languages. One amazing thing I found in learning languages is that it actually shapes our perspectives. Different methodologies and unique words or slangs point out your own uniqueness. Sometimes it became our boundaries, either good or bad. I don't know, it's just fascinating to know more about yourself while learning new things! ... :)
