About Me

I am originally from China, came to the UK when I was 16, became a Christian at 21. I am not preachy but it is my primary identity. Assuming I'd bribed my friends, they'd say I am soft-spoken, sociable, kind and adventurous.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is one of my real passions. Staying in hostels, with B&B or the more expensive hotels all provide various great experiences. But couch surfing provides the experience only locals can give. There are the best traveling plans, little gems, local delicacies only the local know. Speaking for myself, traveling is not just about sightseeing, taking photos but experiencing a place through the eye of a local. If there is a hospitable local who is also keen on showing people around, couch surfing and hosting obviously is win-win for the both sides.

Interests

I love languages, fluent in both Chinese and English, currently also learning French. I love travelling and have been to Spain, Potugal, Germany, Austria, Netherlands,Italy, Greece, Malaysia and many parts of China. I love historical sites but are even more fascinated by natural scenery. I am also a very keen cook and photographer. Good food never fails.
