Why I’m on Couchsurfing
why not?
I love meeting new people every where I go, thats the best part of traveling, most of the unforgettable memory in my trip is about the nice local people and culture. CS is just the platform to do the things I like
Interests
Biggest interest is football, super fan of Fulham FC (the London original club) . I watch football a lot, try to watch any game where ever I been. And also I play football for more than 10 years. So if you also a football fan I can talk with u for a whole day(even more).
And I’m really interested about outdoor adventure like hiking,swimming,paddle-boarding. Also I love doing some martial arts 🥋 like muy Thai, boxing, taekwondo
Also love all kinds of drinks🍹🍸🥃🍺🥂🍷I got a home bar making cocktails everyday and always have a beer when with friends.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love reading and learning in many areas: history, culture, architecture, philosophy, religion, economic.... Definitely would like to talk and learn with you in all aspects.
I always read some books before I visit any country or area, so that I can have a better conversation with the locals and better understanding about the culture
Books: Las Venas Abiertas de América Latina, Homage to Catalonia, Stories of the Sahara(SanMao)...
Movies: Back to the Future, Parasite
Music: Hip hop music (trap and drill). Recently became a fan of Reggae and Afro. Also love all kinds of party music 🪩
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
solo travel in 7 Latin America countries for two months when I was in 19 and can't speak any Spanish that time
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you is everything about China🇨🇳 where I grow up and spent 18 years. I’ve been to pretty much all the provinces and areas in China before I moved to London, so if you’re planning a trip to China, I’m the one to help. 🗺️
I am studying and working on the semiconductor industry, I can share with you the knowledge about this industry💻. Also I can teach you making some cocktails🍹 as I’m also a part time bartender
And Id like to share with you about my travel experience, my life in London, my study, my work......
And I always believe everyone is my teacher that I can learn a lot from (this is philosophy from the great Confucius)
What I Can Share with Hosts
As above I can tell you everything about China where I grew up , and my travel experience in 50+ countries. Also I am happy to make you an authentic Chinese meal if you dare to try something 🥵 (just kidding , I can also make something friendly😋 if you can’t stand🌶️ )
