Hi there! My name's Yupeng, and I'm 25 years old. I'm from China but right now I'm studying in Madrid, Spain. Before I came here, I studied in Helsinki, Finland for two years.
I enjoy reading, watching movies, and playing board games during my (limited) free time. I'm a curious learner who is interested in learning new things about the world.
Feel free to message me if you would like to talk to me! 😃 and...if you're interested in writing paper letters, do message me! Let's talk in the old fashioned way!
--------------------
Eight years ago, I was in high school. I was curious about the world so I tried to make friends online with people from different cultures. At that time, this site was called Apersphere (if I remember right), and Penpal Gate was a separate site. I enjoyed my time here and I made some friends from different countries. Sadly, it was hard to keep in touch, and we gradually lost contact.
At that time, I was very interested in Spanish language and culture. I was dreaming about studying Spanish language and literature at the university. As you can guess, I didn't get admitted to the program and ended up doing a business major. Guess what, eight years later, here I am in Madrid doing my PhD. I guess my dream at high school came true, in another way.
Don't give up. What you really want will eventually come to you.
I haven't been traveling that much. Going to Finland to study was the first time for me to be abroad. I spent two years there for studies and I really like it!
During my studies there, I also traveled to some other countries, such as Sweden, France, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania 😃
