A Geography PhD student in the US.
Worked as architect, regional planner, and GIS analyst in humanitarian sector, I am currently working as an consultant for multilateral banks in climate-adapted infrastructure and urban development projects in Southwest China and Southeast Asian countries.
Always on my way and migrate a lot.

I love travel, exploring cities, acquainting locals and observing their interaction with environment. I am also a photography amateur.

I came from a medium-sized Chinese city with over 2000 years history and 1 hours to Confucius hometown, located in the middle of the east coast of China - Shandong Province.

My oriental personality is quiet, peaceful and introvert. I am trying to be more open-minded to a multiple world, be curious about different culture, stories and people.

A vegetarian since 18 and being a flexible vegan half times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and enjoy meeting different people in different culture.
I hope to find safe place to stay and have deep communication with locals about local culture as well as I would like to offer the same thing for travelers come to my city.
