I am a sophomore at the University of Tennessee studying Honors Mechanical Engineering and Mandarin Chinese. I am looking for people in China to stay with while I am visiting to practice my Chinese language ability and to help Chinese people improve their English abilities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am taking a trip to China this summer and am looking to save money on hotel costs and to gain valuable experience interacting with and practicing my Chinese with native Chinese people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the 50's--the music, the movies, the culture, everything. I am a big fan of Italian mafia movies such as The Godfather (I, II, III), Goodfellas, and Scarface. I also like watching more contemporary shows like The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Brooklyn 99.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have taken a summer-long road trip across the entire United States and visited places like Yellowstone, Zion National Park, and Redwood National Park in the American West.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am currently studying Mandarin Chinese at the University of Tennessee and am interested in practicing my language abilities with native Chinese citizens. At the same time, I would love to help Chinese citizens improve their English language abilities as well.
