About Me

CURRENT MISSION

El camino de santiago between July and September 2015

ABOUT ME

Growing up as an adventurous soul, I have been to most part of China. After university I went to San Francisco, and a few years ago I quit my job to travel in South America and Antarctica. After being a vagabond for half a year, I moved to LA, and since then frequently go back to China.

I traveled solo in Europe for 3 months in 2014. I am going back to travel for another 3 months this summer.

I don't have a timeline as i only buy one way ticket and never plan ahead of time. If i have to cancel or deny any host's kind invitation due to changing plans, please dont take it personally.

Im not single.

PHILOSOPHY

A traveler sees what he sees, a tourist sees what he has come to see.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had been hitchhiking/couchsurfing throughout my south america trip.

I don't have a perfect place to host, but I can meet up with visitors and show around the town - whether in California or China.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first time was completely spontaneous. Met a lesbian couple at the bus station in Chile, and crashed at their apartment for 5 days. They are so nice and lovely that I decided to carry on couchsurfing in South America.I went through Argentina and Brazil with CS.
