I was born and raised in China but this is the 6th year I live in Kenya. Life can’t be planed but it’s full of unknown surprises and adventures, just enjoy it!

I’m a big fan of world travel, full of curiosity on diverse cultures and traditions. I’m always exploring when I’m free - go travel makes me feel alive.

I’ve been on Couchsurfing for more than 10 years (lost my previous account after COVID), this is an incredibly great community to give a chance to everybody who really likes to connect with people from around the world, feel so blessed to have such a deep connection with those lovely ones I have been met on the road.

I enjoy all kinds of music and movies, but my favorite is always Rock&Roll!I read a lot of books as well - like history, documentary, philosophy, psychology, art,fictions and so forth.Apart from that, I’m also a photography enthusiast - I will be so immersed while capturing the moment and seeking the beauty of life.

Life is so short and we only live once, no matter what we have, it’s always a gift from life. APPRECIATED.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- I want to learn some more languages and different cultures from diverse cultural backgrounds.
- To travel like a local, explore more than a tourist.
- Make new friends!
