Hi! My name is William. Above is a quick timeline of my life. I find it hard to introduce myself as many cultures have influenced me greatly. I guess if I have to put a label, it would be "Chinese with an international background"? I am interested in different cultures (the food, language, way of life, etc.).The curiosity has taken me to 30+ countries and counting~

I am doing a gap year in South America at the moment. I would love to meet and have a great chat!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The part of traveling I enjoyed the most is meeting the locals, and learning about them and their culture!
