I've visited over 50 countries (according to Couchsurfing’s classification)!

Currently based in Shanghai. Hoping to visit Singapore and Indonesia this summer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet new people, share my experiences, and learn about other people's awesome travel adventures! I’m always looking for off the beaten path travel destinations. Where’s the most obscure place you’ve been to?

I’m also interesting in literature and films. I think the Couchsurfing community and broaden my knowledge of these two performs.

Interests

I enjoy table tennis and tennis or any sport with a racquet. Badminton, squash, racquet ball, you name it! I’m always down for a challenge.

• pub crawls
• anime
• video games
• tennis
• table tennis
• history
• international relations
• international food

Music, Movies, and Books

I try to watch all the Oscar nominated films. I also like independent and foreign movies. Renting foreign movies from my hometown's library is one of the reasons I was inspired to travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing a famous mountain (Taishan 泰山）in China was pretty cool, although I wouldn’t recommend walking up all those stairs when there’s still ice and snow on the ground!

Teach, Learn, Share

I took tennis and ping pong lessons when I was in middle school and high school, so I can teach either one of these. I can also share my experiences and tips from all of my previous international trips!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well I’ve been doing research about sister cities and city diplomacy for a while now, so hopefully I can share some fun facts about international relations and urban studies. I’ve also been reading a lot of classic English literature recently. So maybe we can talk about novels :)
