About Me

I'm an outgoing guy who loves to travel. I think I'm generally fun to be around and like to grab every opportunity I can get my hands on; life is there to make the most of. I enjoy travelling all corners of a country but tend to prefer cities as they're usually the best place to meet and spend time with locals and ultimately this is my aim.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Surfing-I believe the key to understanding a place is to first understand its people; couchsurfing is the best way to meet locals. I would rather see a place through the eyes of a local, hanging out and doing every day things, than the eyes of a tourist.

Hosting-I love to repay and pass on all the kindness, warmth and hospitality I have received from my previous hosts. I am also very passionate, and fairly knowledgeable, about my home country of China and would love to impart this passion and knowledge onto others lucky enough to visit this incredible nation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I really do love to cook and this is the thing I miss most when travelling, I can't promise I'm good at it but I always enjoy cooking for others. Other than that, not much other than stories and photos from my travels.
