About Me

Hey guys,
Raised and living in Chengdu, China, I really feel it is amazing and contingent that we can know each other and maybe meet up in my or your city some day through this platform.

My view of this world is positive and optimistic since the world is plausible and scientifically-understandable. I am really lucky I am living in this era that the world is technology- booming and open enough ( the tribalism is undermining us though) so that we are relatively free to understand and experience the world in our limited life through reading books, meeting different people, and giving our sincere humble mind to the unknown.

Couchsurfers, in my opinion, are group of people who share the similar positive value and have love and kindness to others. I am quite excited to receive your request or send my request to you having us know each other.

If you are planning to visit Chengdu, just send me your request and maybe we would love to host you in me and wife's apartment, show you around my city and the culture, and talk to each other.

This year I returned to this platform after long period of Covid lockdown and standing over the new stage of my life . I wanna experience the best part of the travel trough Couchsurfiing---- meeting people. When I used Couchsurfing to either host the couchsurfers before at home or travel in other countries. People I met were really inspiring and having sharing spirit.

LOOKING FORWORD TO seeing you in this wonderland :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2017, that was my first time I used this platform and I hosted many couples of couchsurfers staying at my apartment in Chengdu. They were all nice people and meeting people from different background really offered me great chance to know the world without walking out.

In 2018, I spent my entire gap year staying with various hospitable hosts in Australia. Even though that was my first time traveling to a western country alone as a freshman just upon graduation from school, I was purely blessed and taken good care of by them. These ere strings of unforgettable stories to share, etc.

After 6 years, this year 2024, I now return to this platform at a new stage of my life. My wife and I are planning to have a grand tour, as we describe, over this world with new thinking and attitude.

We hope to meet you here or there someday and let's move forward our story together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Couchsurfed whole year in Australia, in the meantime, met the Christianity, stayed with an Aisian royal family, and experienced a work and travel roadtrip along the coast with a group of fabulous people. Couchsurfing is really a good place to meet marvelous people. When I was in the Australia couchsurfing for 1 year, I met many kind and friendly host. As we all share the same value on this platform, they provide me the place to stay, in return, I know how to be a descent guest helping them with daily chores or other homework we could do together at my best effort.

I love sports a lot. Hiking, cycling, marathon, tennis, table tennis, and stand-up paddling are what I am doing and playing at the moment. I love reading and hard working as well. I am proud of myself is my positive impact I can bring to my surroundings. Friends and family member who know me for long time, they might probably not be really into healthy and mindful lifestyle initially, but they can feel their own change and will at least feel very positive of the lifestyle they have similar to mine. I feel so lucky and beloved by them. And I believe becoming a better self and enjoying the life with group of friends is such a amazing thing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Language and dialect we originally speak and its culture behind; If you are sport guy, I could also teach you how to play Pingpong or tennis which two I am good at. Or you go out hiking in the city or mountains together in the right time.

Learn: Love to hear you and your stories

Share : Food ---I'm a good chef, I could cook you authentic and delicious Chinese Sichuan cuisine if you like at home; and Pour-over coffee as well; Books---I love reading; Stories, etc;
