Been to 57 countries so far, need to experience the rest! I asked three friends to describe me: “You’re just a ball of energy!” “I’ve never met anyone more bubbly than you.” “Most outgoing and positive person I know.” Graduated from University of British Columbia, moved to Beijing for work in June 2018. Trying to be a workaholic and still have a life. I want to make unforgettable and life-long friendships with people from around the world. 我会说中文哦！ Warning: high risk of quality friendship after meeting up with Rachel, proceed with caution. Instagram: @therachelchan **Did you know? Couchsurfing is not a dating site! SHOCK!** For guests: I’m located in the heart of “downtown” in Beijing, Sanlitun, there’s lots of international restaurants and bars (and heaps of foreigners) close by. I work from home, you’ll be staying in my living room / home office so you won’t have full privacy while I’m working. When you send a request to stay with me, please mention that Canadians are cool - this is my way of filtering out copy and pasted requests. Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to truly travel, not just vacation. Meeting locals and spending time with them seems like the perfect way to do that. I also believe in giving back to the community.

Interests

Connecting with interesting people from all over the world.

• sports
• meeting people
• game of thrones
• making genuine connections

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music I can dance to or relax to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a five-month solo backpacking trip around Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you English or Chinese, I’m fluent in both. I’ve also been published three times in Canada, so we can have writing sessions together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Endless travel stories + incredible energy + gratefulness
