About Me

*** I’m not interested in DATING/HOOKING UP on CS AT ALL. No replies to any kinds of these requests or if you want to date or hook up while doing Couchsurfing or meeting up. This is a place for meeting fellow travelers and making new friends. Please respect the boundaries and make it comfortable for a female solo traveler.***

Simply a person who loves travel and meets new people that bring me new perspectives on life. At a certain point in my life, I told myself traveling is enough for me and it was time for a stable life, but I realized how much I actually love being on the road, having a wandering soul, craving adventures and simply being able to do what my heart desires and urges for.

I intend to become a psychotherapist in the future. I have heard expats have a huge need for psychotherapy and counseling support when they are outside of their original country.

I also had a lot of diverse experiences in my life - happy to tell more when we know each other!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I thought I would quit couchsurfing because I have done a lot of it - but still, when time passed and every time I come back to this platform, it still proves to give me the best experience when I travel by myself on the road.

Interests

I have a strong interest in how to reach the ultimate peacefulness in life.
I like to observe people's lifestyles and behaviors, and how their past experiences, families, ways of thinking, and body language tell how they evolve into who they are now at this moment and inform the potential form of their future selves.
I love all kinds of explorations and new challenges, especially learning from someone who has a different background than mine. That's how I grow and see a wider world of people with different belief systems.

Music, Movies, and Books

More into the indie scene, I also love jazz, but basically open to all kinds of music. I listen to a lot of Asian sad sentimental pop songs though, it makes me feel at home when I am outside of my country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess I might be the first person from China (or even Asia) who did study abroad in Bhutan.
