ABOUT ME
I currently work on special art projects in a contemporary art gallery in Guangzhou. As a visual artist based in Guangzhou, I collaborate projects across southern China, e.g. community art festivals, art space, fashion runaway installations and window display etc. Anything related to space, mood, and interaction.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
strolled in Shanghai from midnite till dawn with a local artist for an immaterial exchange project with strangers...
...when i studied visual arts in the U.S., i went to N.Y.C .during internship and exhibitions, crushing on my friend's couch. Couchsurfing reminds me of the spirit of no-frilled exploration, precious human connection, and pure trust.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I "destroyed" my Hungarian guest's travel plan in China. Instead, we made a new detour from my city - Guangzhou, to his city - Budapest. In 3 months, we walked, hitchhiked, and couchsurfed, crossing borders from China, Laos, Thailand, India, Nepal, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Germany, Czech, to Hungary. Pure craziness, magic, and flow of life.
