Born and raised in P.R. China, attended graduate schools in USA, Finland and Norway, now living in Tallinn, Estonia. A mellow sort of guy with a very good sense of humor. I studied civil engineering and creative sustainability, but also have a broad interest in architecture and history and many more. My previous study and project experience has also brought me to some places in the world that I never imagined I would get a chance to visit in my life, such as Uttar Pradesh of India, Dar es Salaam of Tanzania, and Spitzbergen of Svalbard. Having lived in so many places in the world, I look forward to going to more amazing places, and hopefully not just visit, but also to experience the livelihood like a local.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a host, it is good to make new friends from time to time, who usually have amazing stories to share. As a guest, meeting local people can be exciting and fun, because I believe the best way to really get to know a place is to talk to, or even better, explore the place with the locals.
