ABOUT ME

Hi, world! I'm Yao from China. I'm an architect by profession. In the past year and half I took a leave from my career and traveled around the world. I worked on a boat in Norway for the summer, followed by backpacking in Latin America and Southeast Asia.

I recently moved to Bavaria, Germany, and will be starting my new job in 2020. I'm looking forward to becoming part of the community and making new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm very grateful that I've met and received tremendous help from friendly people all over the world during my travels. I would like to return this favor to other travelers who are visiting my city. Although now I'm always on the road, I’d be happy to share experience and offer company wherever I am.

NOTE: Please DO NOT send me friendly messages unrelated to Couchsurfing request or your trip, or I will report you.
