I'm a Chinese girl now taking master degree in the UK, majoring in translating.
To some extent, I am 'very Chinese', for I really appreciate Chinese culture and know some aspects of my country well such as ancient poems, traditional music... So I'm more than happy to share with anyone who is interested in them.
I' m also curious and passionate, so I traveled around and tried different things such as go diving in Thailand, go paragliding in Nepal, visit the village on the arctic circle (Finland) to appreciate a sky of stunning aurora...
I'm very easy-going and independent and I can be quiet without disturbing anyone if necessary. I also keep things clean and tidy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosting and being hosted, full of surprises, making new friends, exploring more about the world, exchanging knowledge and experiences...couldn't find a reason why I should not join in.

Interests

Play a traditional Chinese musical instrument--'Zheng', a kind of string instrument with 21 strings and wood body of about 1.5 meters long. You can always hear such music in Kung Fu movies (typically played by a Kung fu master, haha...)

Backpacking, hiking, reading...
