Hello, my name is Yuan Yuan, a Chinese girl. Next, I will introduce myself from the following aspects.

1. Travel the world
In 2024, my boyfriend and I set out to travel around the world. We quit our jobs and wanted to see the world, and we made a plan: "100 countries, 100 dreams." These include hiking the Spanish pilgrimage trail, going to Africa to see animals, going to the Antarctic and so on.
What made us decide to travel around the world was that I wanted to see with my own eyes what the world is like, how people live around the world, and I wanted to make friends with people from different countries and regions.
At the same time, I also want the world to see me, a Chinese girl, sharing my daily travel stories with different people.
We have been to Nepal, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand together, and before that I have been to Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Japan alone.
We will always travel on the road to achieve our dreams.

2. Outdoor sports
I am a big lover of nature and outdoor sports. I like hiking, climbing and cycling. Outdoor sports make me love life and the world more, and I can get great happiness, freedom and comfort in nature.
I have climbed many mountains in China. Siguniang Mountain in Sichuan Province, China, was the first snowy mountain I climbed in my life. I will always remember standing in the snow mountains, saw that sunrise, how beautiful shock!
In November 2023, I completed the Nepal EBC Great Circle Hike, which was my first hike abroad. I saw walkers from all over the world, and we cheered each other on. It feels great.
My outdoor wish this year is to complete the climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, and I think I can fulfill that wish.
So far, my outdoor mileage is 2497km, and my goal is to "travel 10,000 miles."
I have many other stories about nature and the outdoors that I hope to share with you sometime.

3. Cooking
Cooking is also one of my hobbies. I like cooking Chinese food very much. It is a happy thing to see the ingredients turn into delicious food after my production.
Occasionally I make desserts. I make birthday cakes for my friends.

4. Handmaking
Occasionally I do some hand-making, I used to love origami and making clay ornaments.
I am also very interested in other handwork. If possible, I hope that I can learn and experience the unique handwork of other countries on the way to travel around the world.

5. Volunteer
I am very interested in volunteer teaching, nature conservation, animal protection and other volunteer activities.
In 2018, I participated in a volunteer teaching project in Bali, Indonesia. It is a very beautiful memory, that time I got along with the local children, I talked to them and told stories, and they gave me some flowers on the day I left.
In the next round-the-world trip, I will continue to try to apply for relevant volunteer activities.

That's my introduction and my story. I love the couchsurfing saying: "You have friends all over the world, but you just haven't met them yet."
Look forward to meeting, and thanks for meeting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have a great love for nature and I have found the love of my life: the great outdoors.Nature and the outdoors are some of my coolest experiences!
I insist on hiking, climbing, and cycling: I rode a bicycle around the island in Taiwan. I climbed two snow-capped mountains. The highest altitude I reached on foot was 5654m. This year, I independently completed the hiking of the EBC Grand Circuit in Nepal, a total distance of 195km.
My love and persistence for outdoor sports and nature have made me more independent, brave, optimistic, positive and powerful.
