Hello! We are Chen and Ru, a couple from Beijing, China. We are traveling across the United States and Canada by bicycle.

We are from Beijing, China. Chen is an artist (painter and designer) and also an art teacher at a primary school. Ru is a designer.

We've been touring by bicycle for 1 year and 4 months. Before arriving in New York on July 22, we bicycled from China to Africa and across Europe. We have stayed with a dozen Couchsurfing hosts in Iran, Turkey, Germany, France, and the U.S., and have enjoyed getting to know our hosts!

We are clean and quiet guests. We typically arrive on our bikes in late afternoon and depart the next morning.

Looking forward to meeting you!
Chen and Ru
