Hi there! My name is Zoe from Chengdu.
①I’m a rational and open-minded person who loves discovering new cultures, trying different cuisines, and immersing myself in local experiences. Whether it’s learning a new language, listening to local music, or wandering through hidden streets, I cherish every moment of my travels.
②I started traveling after graduating from high school, during my university years, I was a backpacker. I’m deeply grateful to my younger self for striving to reach various destinations despite having little money at the time. Since graduating from university, I have continued traveling solo. Taking trips to escape the routine of everyday life is essential for me, whether it’s a short weekend getaway or a longer vacation. I always make the most of my free time to explore new destinations.
③This year marks my 13th year of solo travel and my 10th year of work.I will embark on my long-anticipated gap year. I’m incredibly excited about what 2025 has in store for me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think traveling is not just about the places but about the people we meet along the way. Couchsurfing gives us the chance to connect with locals, share cultures, and create lasting memories. It’s a unique way to experience a destination authentically and to build friendships across the globe.
