A sociable introvert, aspiring solicitor, SOASian.

Born and raised in subtropical China, at a town 15 minutes ride away from the southern skirt of the fourth largest lake in mainland, where the Tea Bible was written.

I am curious about all the cultures in the world - how was it like growing up the way you did? What’s the food like? Traditional forms of performance art? How’s the education system like? What’s your view on your country’s politics? What’s your view on my country?

If you are prepared for an honest and sincere discussion without prejudice, or just need a companion for your explorations, we will get along very very well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In China we say 读万卷书 行万里路 (reading a thousand scrolls and treading a thousand miles), I’ve been doing the former, now working on the latter.

Teach, Learn, Share

🍵I can teach you about six different types of tea in China, sharing my tea collection.
👀I’m curious to learn where you come from, the culture, religion, society, and food. Anything is welcomed with respect.
🍱If possible I will offer to cook for you or with you, happy to make Chinese food or anything you like! (do not expect Kung Pao Chicken).
