Holá, Cómo estás?
Soy un mochilero viajando solo desde China. Puedo hablar y entender un poco de español.
Mucho gusto!

Wanna be a traveler and a local rather than a tourist.

To me, it’s always the people, their lives and the nature they live in that truly matter.

Here’s a young guy from China, curious about people from different backgrounds and cultures, and currently on a long journey across Africa and the Americas. Starting in Egypt, I’ve already traveled through parts of Africa, South America and is in Central America, I hope to continue discovering more people, nature, cultures, histories, and the stories in between. Besides, I am a big fan of hiking, I have almost done one hike/trek in each country that I have been to.

I genuinely enjoy conversations and exchanges, and I’m always happy to share my journey with others. I’d describe myself as well-educated, sincere, and passionate, hopefully with a decent sense of humor as well.

If you’re interested in China or the Chinese language, I’m always glad to share, thoughtful conversations and reasonably good pronunciation included of course!

I’m not much of a party animal, but I do enjoy quiet moments and early mornings (I usually go to bed before 11 p.m.). I don’t smoke, and I only drink on special occasions.

Looking ahead, I’m also thinking about hosting travelers in Shanghai as a way of giving back. Any host or kind soul I meet along the road would be more than welcome to visit my hometown when I return.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

True joy is in the mystery.

As an individual who believes in the idea that we share the same planet and should not be separated by country boarders, languages and politics, I am intended to meet more individuals and get acquainted with people from all over the world.
