ABOUT ME

Hello, u can call me Viola Chang if "Yiyu Zhang"(my Chinese name) is difficult to pronounce. I'm a native Shanghainese, open-minded and cheerful person.

Now I'm working as an English tutor. I have 3 animals at home, 2 dogs (Nayo & Doubie) and 1 cat (Meowguru); Outside of my job, I love to create. I launched art projects of various forms (including theatre, visual, documentary etc.) from 2017-2019 and love the feeling the creation. Other than that, I have always been interested in various kinds of culture dances, including latin and belly dance. I'm a fan of hiking and traveling with a group or on my own. So far I have been to Italy, Spain, and Netherland, and I'm about to go to Portugal to continue with my dream of Camino de Santiago.

I would love to keep feeling as the child of the world. I wonder if you feel the same when you are traveling alone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love this Community simply because it offers what I want, Traveling, making new friends and also for language or culture exchange. And usually travelers are really amazing people with big-hearted and opened-minded attitude, willing to adapt to any new environment and always learning.
