Otherwise here we go:

I'm a former hitchhiker, backpacker, workawayer, but until 2028 I will be spending most of my time in school. My hometown is Beijing (China), so in a way attending university in the States is a big adventure in itself. At least that's what I tell myself. I miss the roads... but I'll be back soon!

My personality is somewhere between an outdoor fanatic and absolute nerd - meaning I fancy a nice week-long trek just as much as being a couch potato in pajamas, or reading about how the Mongols established their cross-continental empire in the 13th century... But I like to say I'm discovering a new piece of myself everyday, and traveling/wandering around/getting lost (and hopefully found) is an integral part of this experience.

Crowds and commotion stress me out, but in cozy places I'm all lively again, and keen for conversation. I love to hear about all the cute and crazy stories in the people I meet; everyone is such an expansive world in themselves. Some days I think 99% of my life is about interaction with people, myself included, while the remaining 1% can go to culture, history, academia...

Trip is ongoing - very excited about the connections I will build here on BeWelcome!
