Hello, I am Rex from Canton,China and have been living in Paris since 2018. I am a PhD student on sociolinguistics (language shift) and currently live in Kuala Lumpur for my research.

I love reading, music (mainly electronic), scuba diving and I am also an active Wikipedia editor trying to contribute more translated articles from English to Chinese! Travelling, to be honest, is a solid part of my soul ;) In 2016 I took a half-year gap for traveling across Eurasia, from China far till Murmansk in Russia and Israel. I’ve left my footprints in every Southeast Asian countries, and I have been volunteer in India while I was 20, with my journey in the country, north till Himalayas and south reaching Ceylon and Tamil Nandu, arousing my deep curiosity and passion for different cultures and histories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hate tourism in tour, I love being closer to the local, that's how I understand the real essence of travelling. what's more, it satisfies my budget LOL :)
