'A woman of twenty-two may be still young and inexperienced, but with all the daring, courage and confidence which all things count on, I believe there is a lot to accomplish if only I try.'

I am Yu Ying, a Taiwanese girl studying animation in London now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people from different countries, to listen to their experiences, to see their secret places in their hometown. Also, I am willing to share my joyful experiences of my journey. Or even just chatting. I believe there are always some interesting and touching stories behind each person.
Although I am full of curiosity of the unknown world, I am not really a big fan of sightseeing. On the contrary, I am happy to see people's daily life, live in local people's way, deeply know a city.

I wish I could travel around the world and visit people
