Here is Betty, a girl from China. I studied, worked, and lived in Shanghai for 15 years. After a decade-long career, I decided to take a long break for myself.

“Is this all there is to life? If I had the chance, what kind of life would I truly want?”
These questions have been on my mind for the past few years. So, I started traveling, meeting new people, and seeing different ways of living—constantly searching for answers. I’m still on this journey, and you will also become part of my answer.

Although I can be a bit shy, I want to push myself out of my comfort zone, meet new friends, hear your stories, and see a bigger world. I want to live a life full of experiences, exploring future possibilities rather than repeating the same script.

P.S. Yes, it’s obvious—I love pink. (Not because of Barbie, but I don’t mind if you think so. Pink just makes me happy.)
Also, my photos are mostly of myself because I’m not sure if my friends are comfortable being in them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I chose Couchsurfing because it feels like a “life experiment”—a place where I can meet people from different backgrounds, exchange stories, and experience a more authentic way of living.

As someone who is a bit shy, I want to create an adventure where I take the initiative to meet new people. This makes my journey of self-exploration even more enriching.
Rather than seeing a place through the eyes of a tourist, I want to experience the daily life of a local—to truly understand the culture and lifestyle.

And, of course, it also helps me save money on my travels : )

Music, Movies, and Books

To be honest, this is a tough question to answer. I actually enjoy all good books, movies, and music.

However, defining what is “good” is quite tricky—the standard is hard to pin down.
And luckily, I get to be the one who decides : )

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my birthday, I traveled alone to Semporna for7 days to learn scuba diving and got my OW+AOW certifications.

Btw, the seafood there is both cheap and delicious!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to know about the local way of life, the kind of life you aspire to, and the reasons behind your current lifestyle choices...

Everything about your philosophy of life!
I’m looking for your inspiration!

- Share of the Chinese media market strategy—this used to be my job, and I’d be happy to share if you’re interested.
- Travel experiences from the countries I’ve visited.
