About Me

Anthropology masters, working in Beijing, currently a researcher in media and doing translation on the side. My jobs keep me constantly occupied therefore I am not able to travel as often as I used to. So I'm happy to keep active in couchsurfing community, meeting people and refreshing our experience of the world from time to time.

I like to go around the world and visit every gallery and theatre and take river walks. Sounds nerdy indeed but that's honestly how I travel, quiet and eco-friendly. But I don't mind a bit party fun when in the mood.

My passion is in photography and art, I would love to share my works with you and make gallery tours together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the perks of being young is that you can drift around and make everywhere your home. Couchsurfing is this platform that not only makes traveling feel like going home----looks like it too. Making friends around the world who one day will come to you too is a great experience.

I don't accept requests over two nights, please take note of that when you message me. I would like to hang out though when I'm available.

Music, Movies, and Books

A movie with good music is very likely to be a good movie too. So I usually discover music through movies. There are millions of them and I'd love to share them with you when we meet!
Movies with good music are: Hedwig and the Angry Inch, American Hustle, Devils are Here, Her, Untouchable, Babel, Lost in Translation.... Just to name a recent few.
I read novels when I got the time. Life Elsewhere, A brief History of Salt, The Gadfly, Life is Elsewhere, Of Human Bondage, Ordinary Life...also a recent few, and everything by J.K. Rowling and Lu Xun.
Recommendations welcome!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived in Beijing after four years in smog. Now back to continue surviving it.

Teach, Learn, Share

There are about 1.4 billion people on earth who speak Chinese but few are actually able to be good Chinese teacher---here is one of them.

Open to all knowledge---I study human being.

Prepare to be my photographic models! I really like to take photos for people and make them smile.
