Hey! I am Ziyan from Shanghai, China. Right now I am studying Transcultural Study at the Uni Bremen, Germany.

I am fascinated with different cultures - talk with the local people, meet different travelers, share and exchange the stories with each other. The world is bigger, more colourful and diverse than one could imagine. But through travelling the world is also smaller and easlier to experience. Thus I want to see and explore this on my own. As this does not only enrich my life but also has wided my horizon - body and soul one of it should be on the road. (reading and travelling)

What I expect most is nevertherless to bring something to the other people. That is also the reason why I have decided to study abroad for this major. My goal for the job is to prmote the cultural exchanges.

Therefore, I would be very glad to share and exchange my stories and ideas with you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have never used Couchsurfing beforehand. Study abroad in the last 2 semesters was hard time for me. It was travelling that enabled me to escape from the shadow and brought me sunlight and cured me when I was depressed.
This new semester I want to start with something new, something, that I have never tried as well as experienced before. Thus I followed the suggestion from my classmate, who has used Couchsurfing for about 2 years.

Music, Movies, and Books

I do not have specific favour of any kind of music, books etc but stay open. Because there are so many unexpected things waiting to be discovered.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Although I think it would be difficult to tell, as I believe there's always more challenges in life, I want to share my stories with you when we meet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love observing stars, which let me feel tiny and peaceful. I could cook and teach you Shanghai Cuisine and we talk under the starry sky. I would appreciate everthing that you might share with me and stay curious and excited about it all the time.
