About Me
Hi there! I'm Kate, a passionate traveler from China, currently preparing for a global adventure. I run a small export business back home, which has allowed me to connect with people and cultures all around the world. Now, I’m looking forward to experiencing new places firsthand and immersing myself in local lifestyles.

Travel is a big part of who I am, and I believe it's the best way to learn about different cultures, traditions, and ways of life. Whether it's sharing stories, exchanging knowledge, or simply enjoying local food and music, I love connecting with people and learning from their experiences.

I’d love to meet new friends, share a cup of coffee, or even offer a helping hand if you're ever in need. I'm also happy to help with any business advice related to export or international trade if that's something you're interested in! My goal is to not only travel but also make genuine connections that can enrich my journey.

Looking forward to meeting you and exchanging stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe in the power of authentic connections. Traveling isn’t just about seeing new places—it’s about meeting people, learning from their experiences, and immersing myself in local cultures. Couchsurfing offers a unique opportunity to go beyond typical tourist spots and engage with the heart of a destination: its people.

I’m excited to meet hosts who can share their personal stories, local tips, and the true essence of their home cities. For me, Couchsurfing is not just about finding a place to stay; it’s about building friendships, gaining insights, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

As I prepare for my world travels, I’m also eager to help others who are visiting China. I look forward to offering a warm welcome, sharing knowledge about local culture, and providing any support I can for fellow travelers. Couchsurfing is a community of shared experiences, and I’m excited to contribute my own as I meet new friends along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing experience I’ve had was building my own business in the export industry from the ground up. It’s been both challenging and rewarding to connect with clients from all around the world, expanding our reach to countries across multiple continents. This journey has taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of building genuine relationships across different cultures. Through this, I’ve been able to travel, meet incredible people, and witness firsthand how global connections can create positive impacts.
