Hello everyone, I'm Yanan Jing, a Chinese student in Lille, France. I'm doing my Master. I love traveling and making friends. I do sports like swimming, cycling and hiking in mountains. I'm good at cooking Chinese food and have sometimes sens of humor, not all the time though.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To spend with new people in a new place is a great adventure for me. Having made good friends during my first couchsurfing experiences, that encourages me to keep discover new places, new environment and people different from me. I like to listen to others and exchange with people. Couchsurfing is really a nice platform that we meet by accident but become friends with whom I can share stories and spend good time.

Interests

I like swimming, cycling and hiking in mountains. Having had first experience of kayak, now I have to say I love it! And I want definitely to do more. Besides, I'm good at cooking Chinese and I love eating well. I'm also interested in photography, cinema and theater.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love folk music, especially celtic dance music. I'm not good at remembering names of songs either lyrics, but I often listen to songs recommended by youtube.
I'm following Game of Thrones, I've finished many movies, and I love Harry Potter, Outlander, Hunger Games, Sherlock Homes, Flipped and so on.
In fact I read very slowly. My friends laugh at that and tell me sometimes to give up, but I keep reading. After finished Little house on the prairie last year, I got Imitation games, though I haven't finished one third of it until now. After watching Hunger Games and Outlander, I want to read books, but since I'm still on my Imitation game, I have to finish it firstly.
