Hey! This is Zilin from Shanghai.

I am working in the ancient art museum, making exhibitions on all kinds of civilizations happen.
I enjoy solo traveling for years, and during the journeys I tend to build connections with the locals and research the vicissitudes of that region.
I enjoy reading non-fiction books a lot!
Most of the time I am an introvert but I will be talkative when discussing abstract concepts/ controversial topics.

⚠️ I only host females.
⚠️ I have OCD about keeping my place clean, tidy, and organized. Please be aware of that:)
⚠️On weekdays I work. If u are seeking a host to spend a plenty of time together, then I may not be a good option:(
⚠️ I am an introvert and my social battery is low.
