Hi! I’m James — a full-time traveler from the US (originally from China).
I spend most of my year living between Florida, Mexico, Colombia, and Europe. I travel with an RV, play pickleball almost every day, and love exploring cities through sports, art, and local culture.

I’m friendly, calm, respectful, and love meeting people who enjoy good conversations. I speak English, Chinese, and Russian fluently, so I connect easily with people from different backgrounds.
If you like travel stories, photography, fitness, or just exploring your city together — we’ll get along well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because the best part of traveling is always the people.
I enjoy meeting locals, learning how people live in their cities, sharing stories, and sometimes making long-lasting friendships.

I’m not here for free accommodation — I’m here for human connection.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve lived and traveled through more than 50 countries, often solo, and built a lifestyle where I can live anywhere in the world with just my backpack and camera.
Also — I once drove across the United States from coast to coast in my RV!
