About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking around the world.

ABOUT ME

Currently I study at Nanjing University for Computer Science bachelor degree. I went to University of Sydney and Cambridge University for exchange programs. During the exchange programs, I got to know what was backpacking and I met a lot of cool fun backpackers. Since then I have decided to go on a low budget travel all around the world. I traveled around Australia,Ireland,and 15 cities/places in the UK but I don't think it is enough.

My plan for the future is first go on a working holiday in New Zealand. Find some easy jobs, maybe fruitpicking or just working in a shop. Save up some money then go to Europe.

Backpacker's life is like a short version of life. That's why I love it. Backpacker's life is like a bunch of sections, it's very hard to say goodbye to every bit because they are all amazing. That's also why I wanna meet people who are traveling, to be a part of the section.

PHILOSOPHY

Life should be immaterial.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll backpack around NZ for at least half a year. It starts in this December.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm very new to this site and so I'm not very experienced . Always welcome to break the ice for me. But I did couch-surfing once in Cardiff, all of the hostels were fully booked. I ended up hanging out whole night with a group of local young people and one of them offered a couch to me to sleep afterwards.

Interests

I like all outdoors stuff. I LOVE traveling on my own and meeting people along the way. I also love learning languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made an extremely impromptu decision to travel all around Australia and it changed my life and my view of life completely.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Chinese, I've been doing language exchange with an American friend for a year. And I wanna learn anything that comes along the way.
