About Me

I was born in China but grew up mostly in Hong Kong and the US. Earlier this year I quit my job in Shanghai and started a motorcycle trip from Shanghai to Europe, and then down to Africa, hoping to see what else is out there and where I might start the next chapter of my life.

I can't change my profile picture right now because the internet in Kyrgyzstan is very slow, but please check out http://www.rideon.life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We could stay in hostels in the cities that we visit, but we would learn much more about a country if we hung out with people who lived in the city rather than with other travelers swinging through.
