Hi, there! My name is Jing, born in 1998.

I haven’t been around here for a while 👋
After finishing my master’s degree in Ireland, I spent almost two years back in China.

Now I’m working online — on my way to becoming a professional Chinese teacher and building my own teaching channel 📚💻. Also trying to find more remote opportunities or local volunteering opportunities 🔎. This means I can move around more freely ✨

I also have a big world travel plan for the next three years 🌍 🌎🌏—all before my 30th birthday 🎂🎉 The first step? Heading back to Europe for more travelling from summer 2026 ☀️✈️

Before that, I’d love to meet people in mainland China 🇨🇳. My brief schedule👇
Feb. Zhangjiajie(My hometown)
Mar. Guilin(Guangxi Province)
Apr. (Yunnan Province)
May. Or directly go to Guangdong
Jun. Guangzhou/Foshan/Shenzhen(Guangdong Province)/Hongkong

I’ve been to quite a few countries and almost every province in China (mostly only in the capital city), but travel for me isn’t about collecting places anymore 🌱It’s about unexpected meetings, good conversations, and crossing paths with amazing people — sharing stories, cultures, and languages along the way 💬🌏💫

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶 Music
I usually listen to the daily 30 recommended songs 🎧, and recently I’ve realised I have a soft spot for funk 🕺✨ — maybe forever. That said, I’m always open to different genres, depending on my mood. And yes, lyrics matter a lot to me.
I also play a traditional Chinese instrument called the guzheng since I was little, and am self-teaching some guitar and ukulele 🎸. Now is crazy about bass, but very beginning level all the time.

🎬 My Life TV Series (2025)
Fleabag 🖤

📖 Books
Way too many to list… but here’s a little secret 🤫I’ve been really enjoying children’s picture books lately. Simple sentences, but often with surprisingly deep philosophy behind them 📚

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did an overnight train trip without a seat when I was 18 years old.
