I am a Chinese student now studying at Oberlin College, Ohio. I am a politics and theater double major here and during my college years I am mostly submerged into the world of social science. I can talk about creepy sociological topics like the anthropological origin of kiss or the relationship between urban planning and prostitution in ancient China for days. I am also knowledgeable in current politics and willing to share my opinions with you~
Besides, I am also an art fan, while I was living in London and New York, I used to go to theaters and Opera houses at least twice a week. My special love was given to Shakespeare, I've read, studied, and watched his plays for years, and I once played Iago in Othello as my final performance in an Acting class. Besides Shakespeare,other theater masters like Chekov, Ibsen, O'Neil, Albee, Verdi, Puccini and Petipa have all influenced me a lot, if you are also into theaters or just want know more about it, come on, we can be really good friends!
I chose politics and theater as my majors because I am mostly passionate in these two fields, but that doesn't mean my interest stop there. In fact, I am obsessed with all the beautiful stuffs in the world. I go to art museums very often and I saw Cézanne, Van Gogh and Rothko not only as my hero, but also good old friends. I also go out for hiking whenever possible to chase the magnificent sunset in Yosemite and to see the snowy mountains in Tibet (very closed to my hometown!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to spend most of my life, energy, and money on exploring new, exotic stuffs rather than lying on a comfortable bed of a fine hotel and wasting my youth. Moreover, I believe that the only right way to get to know a foreign place is by talking and living with the locals. I find that here in Couchsurfing, many people held the same ideas and I am just so excited to feel that I am one part of this cool community.
