Currently doing my PhD in the west coast of the US.

Former assistant architect, regional planner, my path shaped by the ebb and flow of China’s urban transformation and real estate financialization. Later I did my master program in Switzerland and worked as cartographer in the Red Cross. I am now an outsourced project analyst for climate-adapted infrastructure and urban development projects of multilateral banks in Southwest China and Southeast Asian continent 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 4200 years history (the oldest city in China) 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.
