About Me

I`m an international student, currently living, studying and working in Shanghai, China. I`ve completed my Masters Degree in Shanghai, and I`m currently studying on PhD Program. My fields of work and exploration are very wide, including teaching foreign languages, interpreting, traveling, performing. While living in China, I`ve made lots of friends from different parts of the world, and I`m always open towards learning new languages and experiencing new cultures. I believe I`m an easygoing, polite, inquisitive and tolerant person, always willing to share good vibes and stories with people around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I`m on Couchsurfing because I believe that the best way to explore the place is through communicating and living with locals. I`m always adventurous and open towards meeting awesome people around me, and I`m sure that Couchsurfing won`t fail to provide this :-)
