About Me

I just graduated from uni this summer studying economics. I have lived in the Netherlands for 4 years now, there are ups and downs, but generally I loved it.

I love seeing new places, meeting new people, visiting interesting shops and markets, having good conversations, learning something new, and all the other things that give me good experience or help me to keep good memories. Besides, good food and nice drinks are also important, and I love cooking!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have traveled around Europe by hotels, couchsurfing, or staying at my friends' place. And of course couchsurfing and visitng friends almost always make a more interesting trip because it allows you to blend in with the locals, get to know new people, and learn new things.

I surfed alone in 2012 alone when I was only 18 years old. A lot of my friends were worried about me for traveling alone, but to tell you the truth, the trips I made then were some of the best trips I have ever done. That's why I am returning to this site again, and hoping for more amazing experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like books, but I have to admit, I haven't been reading as much as I used to, cause now it's almost always hundreds of pages of textbooks. I used to read a lot, and have a few favorite writers, such as Milan Kundra, a lot of ancient and modern Chinese writers and poets.

Depends on my mood, my taste in music changes.

I love classical movies, 90s- early 2000 movies are almost the best. Foreign moves are always attractive to me. Similar to music, depending on what phase I was going through, I have had a Scandinavian movies crash, French movie crash, Italian and Spanish movies crash, all during different times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year on my roadtrip with my friends, we arrived at a camping site somewhere in Luxemburg. There was a beautiful lake with no other soul around us. Everything was so peaceful and clean, it literally looked like heaven.

I was the only girl in my group, all others jumped into the lake even though it was freezing, and nobody thought I would do the same. But I know in that moment, if I didn't jump, I would have regretted for the rest of my life. So I also jumped in, with my friend's T-shirt on, and swam in there for 15 mins.

After we came out, there was no hot shower, and I was basically frozen to purple. But this experience was amazing, and absolutely worth the cold.
