I'm a French scholar (archeologist) who loves foreign languages and nature.

🇨🇳 China 🇨🇳
Currently, I'm heading to Chengdu, Sichuan for work, where I will be staying for almost 3 weeks with my husband. It will be my first time in China !
🌍Feel free to add me on WeChat, my ID is Chunyue-9🌏

I'm looking forward to making new acquaintances while in Chengdu and improve my Chinese. 😄

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people in the place I travel to, and practice my foreign languages !

To men : I'm not interested in flirting or having sex - I'm married. Don't bother trying. :)
