Hey! This is Zilin from Shanghai.

I am working in the museum sector and am obsessed with arts especially research-based arts. I prefer to define myself as a nomad cuz I love to explore a whole new area, building connections with the locals. I enjoy solo traveling for years and I am a bookworm, dedicating myself to those talking about culture, society, and politics. I am also a hiking lover. Most of the time I am an introvert but I will be talkative when discussing abstract concepts/ controversial topics.

️ mostly I only host females, but occasionally accepting males( only for those well-behaved, knowledgeable persons with common interests)

on weekdays I work so if u are seeking a host to spend a plenty of time together, then I may not be a good option:(

Plus as I am an introvert, my social battery is low. Please be aware of that haha.
