Hi there,

I'm a passionate Chinese girl who loves outdoor activities very much. I'm on in the Netherlands on a orientation year visa to look for jobs.

Traveling and hiking in the less crowded countryside is one of relaxing activities I prefer to do for weekends and holidays. Being born in the northwestern tier-three city Urumqi, Xinjiang 24 years ago, I have experienced the perfect mixture of Uighur and Han culture. In my hometown, you can never expect too much Chinese stuff. But I'm sure you will be surprised by not only to find very Confucius temples but Arabic mosques and much delicious Turkish food.

Besides, I received higher education in Shanghai and London. So feel free to ask me about anything of the experiences in these three cities. I'm very much pleased to answer them and offer as much help as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's definitely a great chance to get to know local friends while traveling around the world! And also as an exchange, to show global friends my beautiful place I'm living would be an amazing thing, too.
