Why do I travel? It’s the people and their lives that really matter and always caring about the specific person rather than the scenarios everywhere.
So here is a Chinese young guy willing to know others from different backgrounds and cultures and has yet started his adventure across Africa and South America. Beginning with Egypt, already been across Africa, Argentina, Brazil and Peru, hoping to get to know more about people, cultures, history and the stories in between. Always enjoy a deep conversation with others, willing to share my journey with you.
Well-educated, sincere and passionate, and hopefully also got a sense of humor. A big fan of Hermann Hesse and Dostoevsky.
If you are interested in China or Chinese, profound thoughts and decent pronunciation available.
Not a big party animal but can also enjoy the moments as an early bird.(I usually go to bed before 23:00)
Besides, I do not smoke and only drink when it’s the occasion.

Also, I start to think about hosting others in Shanghai as a reciprocal way to express my gratitude, so any host/nice guy on the road would be most welcome to come to my hometown when I am back.
