"I grew up in Shandong Province of China, which is the hometown of a famous Chinese educator Confucious, and a famous drink called Tsingtao beer." Well, this is my classic self-introduction spoken to thousands of international travelers coming to Shanghai and experience my walking tours.
After twenty years buried in books and exams, two years suffered in a typical white-collar job supply chain management trainee in the second-largest food company in the world, I made a life-changing decision in 2017: Backpacked solo in Central & South America for 4 months. During the trip, I discovered the diverse world, witnessed millions of life choices, y aprendi un idioma nueva! The memories with my CouchSurfing host along the way were also the highlights of the trip!
What I am most proud of is that I started my tourism business by the unexpected inspiration from the travel experience! www.freetourasia.com ->This is what I built up and live on haha!
2019.11-2020.2 I am currently on (AGAIN) four-month South American trip, discovering deeper of this fascinating continent, also achieve my dream of visiting Antarctica:) Look forward to meeting new friends!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

This is such an awesome way to live like locals when traveling and such a good way to help others in the place I am familiar with! As a typical "People Person", l always believe that encountering amazing people is what makes the trip memorable, even beyond the scenery. So, here I am ready to surf!:)

Latin Dance - Best at Cuban Salsa, struggling at Bachata, obsessed with Reggaeton
Improv Comedy - has been off the stage for a while, but always believe LIFE IS IMPROVISED!
Teaching - does it count as an interest? But I do love and have a passion for teaching especially languages!
Photography - I actually more like to be in the camera instead of behind it... girl's narcissism
Eating Ice Cream - this is absolutely not an interest, just being a normal human being hahaha

教，学，和分享

"Everyone is a book", so I appreciate every chance to meet and explore interesting "books" I read in life.
I believe communication is always the best way for mutual teaching and learning :) Doing a job speaking in front of over 600 ppl per week, I think it proves that at least I am not a boring chatter haha!
Just never say never, since the world will always bring you to surprise!
