Call me Tian-Fu, or TF. Born, raised, and schooled in mainland China, mentally live in Malaysia, studied and worked in the US for 5 years, quit my job in early 2020, traveled the world(mostly China, blame Covid-19) for 10 months, and eventually settled down in Beijing starting a new travel business. Love being a solo backpacker, love exploring the world by myself. Travel internationally every year and have visited a dozen of great countries. (#Malaysia(4 times in 5 years) is Unparalleled#) Fun fact: I'm totally an insider of cheap airline tickets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hostel was once my sole choice, to be honest, where I could make friends with a lot of travelers from all over the world. But as time went by and my age grew up somehow I got a little bored of my old way! Haha~That's why now I'm trying something new — being a couchsurfer!

My first couchsurfing experience was in Beihai, Guangxi, China. I was invited by a young couple who met each other on their respective solo trip and then fell in love, and finally opened their own hostel where I stayed for a night. They offered me a bed for free which could have been sold online, upon a small request that I send a postcard to them in the future. Since then I have been a member of this awesome community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived a motorcycle accident at Langkawi, Malaysia, in 2014. Scars remained on my body, so cool~

Teach, Learn, Share

Upon request, I can teach you some practical tricks on booking budget plane tickets...

Seriously, Machine Learning, though I've been away from it for months... I initially didn't feel like it, but I had no choice since my company needed and it’s the way the logistic industry proceeds

Fun travel stories can be shared all the time!
