I am a sunny boy based Shanghai, living in China for five years and speaking Chinese (mando) for ten. A US-Aussie language lover working remotely in solar energy and slowly exploring your neck of the woods

Eventually I’ll go back to China but my upcoming digital nomad travels include Marrakech, Paris, NYC, Atlanta, Bangkok, and India (not sure exactly where in India yet, recommendations welcome). Earlier this year I was all over Europe, China, Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand and would love to share

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Listen to music like two three hours a day: R&B mostly but interests super varied

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving to China + surround myself in chinese language and friends 很欢迎中文聊啊～

Was going to become a CS host in 2020 in Beijing with my two roommates in an amazing location in the center of Beijing, but then something really *funky* happened…and I lived in China through two jobs and three years of pandemic, for better and for worse!

Teach, Learn, Share

Pretty familiar with Bangkok, Beijing and Shanghai and can share a ton about the places :)

I’ll travel to Central Asia in 2024, if you have experience I would love to hear
