About Me

-Chinese gooseberry. Born and bred in China but feel so at home in my adpoted country that I call myself a kiwi.

-My Chinese name is Fang Yuan which literally means square and circle.

-My hometown used to be a German colony and (not surprisingly) has the biggest brewery in China. It's called Tsing Tao if you ever come across it.

-Still holding grudges towards adults as a kid, hence the attempt to be a teacher.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The whole idea of couchsurfing is just a warm reminder that human spirit is a beautiful thing.

Interests

-Keen tramper/hiker and aspiring mountaineer. Taking up rock climbing recently and not going so well XD

-Novice road cyclist and cycle tourer. Cycle toured around Taiwan in 2018 and keen for some more trips!

-Māori language

-Feeling good about being a planet warrior (mostly the feel-good part).

-FOOD.

Music, Movies, and Books

Brainwashed by children's songs thanks to my career choice. Try "Wonky Donky" and "Oh No, Mr. Possum".

Love reading about adventures of all kind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Looking forward to the next one.

Learnt how to juggle 3 balls recently. Would love to pass it on.
