To explore the world with an open mind, maintain my curiosity about the unknown, and find the perfect balance between the logic of mathematics and the freedom of rock & roll.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that travel is not just about sightseeing; it is about the people you meet. I joined this community to break the bubble of being a tourist. I want to live like a local, eat like a local, and understand the world through the eyes of the people I meet.
Whether I am hosting or surfing, I cherish the exchange of stories and perspectives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about your culture and your personal philosophy of life.

If you like cooking, please teach me a signature dish from your country!

I am currently learning Japanese, so any practice would be great.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Souvenirs from my journey: I always carry small souvenirs, postcards, or local snacks from the last country or city I visited. I would love to share these little surprises with you as a gift! It’s my way of bringing a piece of the world to your home.
Authentic Chinese Cooking: I am a confident cook! I can make delicious Chinese food for you. In my culture, sharing a meal is the best way to make friends.
Stories & Conversations: I have plenty of stories from my travels and my life as a teacher in China. I am always ready for a deep conversation about culture, music, or life over a beer or tea.
Language & Culture: I can teach you Mandarin or Cantonese, and introduce you to the Chinese underground rock music scene if you are interested!
