I love adventure and most of my adult life has involved travel. I crossed the Atlantic on a boat when I was 19 and haven't stopped exploring since. I've been living in China for 3 years and I love it. It's such an amazing country to travel, the people are great and Sichuan food is the best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. We have 2 spare bedrooms
2. I travel whenever possible and when I do I like to see what that place is really about. Spending time with locals would make the experience so much more valuable.

Teach, Learn, Share

If travelling in China:
-Avoid taking a trip to China from mid July to September and during the Chinese national holiday. All the best places to visit are packed during these times
-Always carry tissue paper with you
-don't be afraid of street food, it's the best
-Avoid using the subway in big cities unless you enjoy being pressed up against strangers from every side
