Hi dear CSers, 你好(Ni Hao)~This is Dandan from planet China.

After 6 years studying Russian linguistics and literature in Harbin, Russia and Ukraine, I decided to try something else and currently live and work in Shanghai.

I am easy-going, curious, can be both chatty and a good listener, addicted to art / movie / cuisine. It's a great pleasure to feel another culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
