Hello! I’m an entrepreneur based in Chengdu, with the heart of my business rooted in the travel industry. My educational journey took me to the USA, where I was fortunate enough to immerse myself in a diverse cultural environment, further fueling my passion for connecting with people from all walks of life. This experience has deeply influenced my approach to my business and personal interactions, emphasizing inclusivity and a global perspective.

I am particularly committed to supporting the LGBT community, advocating for inclusivity, and promoting LGBT travel. My aim is to provide a welcoming space where every traveler, irrespective of their background, feels valued and respected.

Living in Chengdu and having studied in the USA, I've developed a broad range of interests, from exploring local cuisines and hidden city gems to engaging with art and history. My leisure time often involves diving into a good book, experimenting with new recipes, or dreaming up my next travel destination.

Centrally located in Chengdu, my apartment serves as a cozy haven for travelers seeking to explore the city. It reflects my commitment to creating a safe, inclusive environment, especially supportive of LGBT guests. I strive to ensure every visitor enjoys a comfortable, memorable stay, experiencing the warmth and hospitality Chengdu is known for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Joining Couchsurfing was a natural step for me, driven by a desire to meet diverse individuals and support the LGBT travel community. My experiences in the USA, both educational and cultural, have instilled in me the importance of inclusivity in travel. As a host, I'm excited to share my city's culture, offer personalized recommendations, and possibly guide my guests through Chengdu's vibrant streets. I'm here to foster meaningful connections and ensure a welcoming, inclusive experience for all travelers.

My Commitment to Inclusivity
With a strong belief in the importance of diversity and inclusivity, I aim to make my home a safe haven for all, especially LGBT travelers. Whether you’re seeking a quiet place to stay or insights into Chengdu’s LGBT-friendly spots, my door is open. Together, let’s create travel experiences that are not just memorable, but deeply meaningful, celebrating the diversity of our global community.

Interests

My world revolves around a kaleidoscope of interests that fuel my enthusiasm for life and learning. At the heart of it all is travel—an endless journey of discovery, connecting with people, and immersing myself in the vast tapestry of global cultures and languages.

I'm deeply passionate about education, always eager to learn and share knowledge in any form, whether it's through formal studies, casual conversations, or new experiences. My academic interests span a broad spectrum, from the precision of mathematics to the introspective realms of psychology, sociology, and philosophy. I'm fascinated by how these disciplines intersect with everyday life and influence our understanding of the world.

Culture and history are my windows to the past and guides for the future, offering invaluable insights into the human experience across time and space. Meanwhile, architecture captivates me with its balance between functionality and aesthetic, standing as silent testimonies of societies' evolution.

My active pursuits include hiking and gym workouts, which keep me grounded and physically engaged, while my creative side finds joy in classical and pop music—with a special nod to old school hip-hop, whose depth and originality resonate with me far more than most contemporary offerings.

In sports, I enjoy the focus and discipline of archery, and the swift, competitive play of badminton, handball, table tennis, and racquetball.

To fellow learners and educators: If you're involved in academia, I would be thrilled to attend a class or lecture. I'm genuinely curious about educational methods around the globe and am eager for firsthand experiences. So, please extend an invitation if you can!

And, in case it wasn't abundantly clear, I must mention travel again. :) It's not just an activity for me; it's a way of life that continually inspires and transforms me.
