Hello everyone!
I am a beginner to the Couchsurfing community and this way of traveling.

I'm an energitic, warm-hearted, talkative person who full of curiosity and desire for exploration. (ENFJ!) You can call me Midorikoko. ~~~///(^v^)\\\~~~ I'm a Panromantic-lesbian, which means I will have romantic interest in all genders, but only sexually attracted by certain females.

I was raised and grew up in Sichuan Province, China. Currently, I’m living and working in Shanghai. Thus I am gooood at cooking Sichuan cuisine, especially spicy food and I'm willing to cook for you.

I wanna tell you guys!!! I just quit my stable job in a state-owned company, just because I was getting tired of this boring, constricted, patriarchal, hierarchical environment! So every stay in your lovely home with be my new start to think about my life.

In my free time, I was operating a creative account called ChairBot on Chinese social. I mainly share a variety of phenomena happen on chair, such as art, gendered sitting posture, funny street observation, cultural differences on chairs, etc. I initiate some exhibitions, workshops, and events around chairs! It is my spiritual paradise when I dive into the world of chair! I also do some writing works for some youth culture media ( eg. Vice China) I would love to share the knowledge of chair with you~~

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Animal protection

One of my favorite dogs is the Bernese Mountain dog, so I usually browse some content about them on the Internet. This kind of dog seems very lovely, however, 80% of them will have Congenital bone cancer which makes them only have 8-10 years of life. That means they are born with pain.

Once upon a time, I suddenly found out a problem that a Bernese Mountain dog social account only share the positive prospects of the dog, but avoiding the negativities. This behavior will lead its followers to buy them as pets, which is bad for the dog.

After realizing this problem, I researched a lot of information, and listed some useful advice, to suggest the account operator how can they help the dilemma of the Bernese Mountain dog and better popularize science about the dog.

Luckily, the operator saw my suggestions, they soon posted a blog called "A Scientific Guide to Pet the Bernese Mountain Dog" . I was so exciting and happy!!! Coz the account has almost 80w followers on Internet! I think I did a great thing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn Japanese; I want to learn how to reduce the feeling of unworthiness; I want to learn how to maintain my subjectivity; I want to learn how to deal with intimate relationships; I want to know different cultures and their convention; I want to try variety food and know how they are being made.

I can share everything you want to know about me !
