About Me

I would say that I am an outgoing person who is also easy to talk with/easy-going and culture-friendly. I love to meet new people, make new friends, hear their stories and learn from their travel wisdom.

I grew up in Hunan, went for college in Beijing, then did an exchange program in Greensburg, US. After that, I went to Uganda, Africa and worked there for 2 years, and then started working in Jiangsu, China, and went on business trips to the Philippines, Mexico, Canada and back to the US.

Hometown: Changsha, Hunan Province.
Current location: Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make the world I'm living in SMALLER.

I have heard so many goods stuff about CS and the surfers on this awesome platform from a good friend who loves to travel and had been using it quite actively before. I haven't done much traveling yet, but, I was like, why not?! Plus, I love to meet new people, make friends, hear their travel stories and learn from them.

We both think that CS could be a place where you may meet some weirdos, especially in recent years, so it's very important to always be cautious and wary while it's also crucial to be reminded with your original intention to join CS and keep your heart open to the world.

It would be so awesome to meet new friends through CS, and I love doing that!
