Hey there! I'm a laid-back guy who thrives on sharing life's adventures. I made the leap to Vancouver back in 2016, trading bustling streets of China for the rain-soaked charm of the West Coast. Oddly enough, I've grown quite fond of Vancouver's rainy days.

As a self-proclaimed foodie and avid photographer, I've embarked on countless culinary escapades, reviewing nearly 2000 restaurants along the way. Whether you're in Taiyuan or Vancouver, if you need dining recommendations, I've got you covered!

My career path has been a colorful one – from teaching and broadcasting to vlogging and snapping photos. These days, I'm happily immersed in the world of ESL and Chinese education.

Nice to meet you! Let's connect on Instagram: michaelkingwang.

Oh, and in 2023, I'm on a mission to explore a new destination every long weekend, even if it's just for a couple of nights. Fingers crossed for memorable adventures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For new experiences! My very first Couchsurfing host showed me the true meaning of trust and love. I firmly believe in the goodness of humanity and the power of sharing. Meeting diverse individuals has been nothing short of amazing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Haha, skydiving definitely counts for some adrenaline!

Spent time volunteering to teach Chinese in Thailand.

Made a bold move at 32, quitting my job to study and work in Canada.

Missed my flight to Tokyo once, but ended up on a spontaneous trip to Hawaii instead – turned out to be an unexpectedly epic adventure!

Teach, Learn, Share

Haha, I'd be happy to teach you Chinese if you're interested – I've got about 10 years of teaching experience back in China. And trust me, I'm pretty good at it!

Love sharing the photos from my travels – I could even snap a few for you if you'd like. I'm not half bad, I reckon!

Fancy learning how to make dumplings? I've got you covered – let's whip up some deliciousness together! 😄
