Engineering.
Eager to travel if possible.
Love to hear stories and anecdotes from different people.
Learning languages.
Interested in (and trying to take effort learning) maths and physics.
Wannabe researcher & part-time music producer.
I am an introvert but trying to be an interesting guy!
Here on CS like everyone, I’d love to make friends around the world.

ps.1. I used to go by the name “Wayne” sometimes but now I think my Chinese name “Yilin” is easy enough for people to pronounce and remember too. So I go with the latter more. But you can call me either :)

ps.2. I live in Toronto. At the moment I am not able to host since my landlord does not allow having someone overnight; also there’s a lack of space and no couch at our place. But I would like to start hosting when I moved and had my own place in the city(hopefully not long from now)!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Make more friends around the world, have experiences that are amazing and inspiring to make changes for myself !

TV series with game themes: Liar Game, Alice in Borderland, Squid Game, …
I am okay with light horror but I’d rather not watch them alone.. :) lol

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekking 2 days on foot in a total of 85+ km on foot (Well maybe just amazing for a beginner... completed several mini marathons in my 4 years of university life still a long way to go!!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn any interesting facts and different kinds of cultures and languages. Sharing opinions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know a few simple recipes (sometimes impromptu), I could teach Chinese(I had language partners in my university with foreign students), offer some help/information on my home country, China; or the cities I’ve lived in.
And I am a really good listener, willing to share your stories and try to have a hearty, deep conversation with you if you want.
