Hi, my name is Tian Yi, 23 years old. I have been living in Beijing since I was born. I am familiar with all the interesting place in my city. During spare time, I would love to hang out with my friends in different places, restaurant, bars, cinema and whatever. I love food and explore all the fabulous restaurants in Beijing and since I like photographing, I know a lot of secret places that would never be introduced on Lonely Planet.
I consider myself as a story teller because I have a lot of amazing experiences traveling(studying) abroad. Besides, I really love adventure and curious about the diversity of different culture so once I went to a new place, I would try to find all the best way to enrich my experience!
I speak well English and Portuguese since I have studied in San Diego, USA, and Portugal, so don´t worry about the communication. And I am kind of talkative but really easy-going!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love traveling and greeting people! I love to travel by my own, so I can stop over where I think is nice domestic and attractive! Living in a local people's house is the best way to experience the culture. Also, I would love to show my city to all my guest to give them the best experience!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding in Fethiye, Turkey
Get off the train with a local Swiss guy to have a one-afternoon tour in his town. That was a amazing coincidence!(Sounds like the story in the movie Before Sunset right? )

Teach, Learn, Share

I have the experience to teach Mandarin and I'd love to be a tutor.
I am able to teach Chinese food and sushi as well.
