Having worked as an assistant curator in a contemporary art museum in Guangzhou, China for 4 years, currently relocated to the Netherlands for a two-year MAFA program, I am no doubt an art lover. For me, contemporary art and traveling are both my methods to explore the world.
I am not into visiting a place by checking out only the famous tourist sites, instead, I always want to know more about what life is like for locals and am eager to learn about the histories that brought us where we are. I am also interested in how people reinvent their daily lives in a turbulent time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to dive into a place in depth by encountering people from a community that is curious, kind, cares about the world, and willing to share.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

living in a nomadic way since I quit my job in 2022, always trying to understand and have connections the local community when I go to a new place rather than just stay in a tourist or digital nomads bubble.

Teach, Learn, Share

my experience, knowledge…it is not about teach and learn, but sharing
