**Update: I moved to Switzerland in April so I’m unable to host in Beijing anymore!!!**
But always happy to give advice about one of my favorite cities :D

Hi there, I’m Shuo, a newly graduated student who moved to Beijing recently for work. Full-time engineer, part-time traveler. (So I might not be the most “local” local as I’m still exploring the city myself, but I know some good places and some good restaurants to try at least :))

Prior to Beijing, I spent 3 years in the spiciest city, Chongqing, where not only did I develop a strong stomach to tolerate all the hotpot and red-oil noodles, but also a love for nature.. climbing, and walking a lot. During weekends I like to get out of the city and into nature.

I enjoy many weird things like caves, mountains, sitting alone in the forest, eating pickles... ok, and some more normal things too, like hanging out with friends, laughing, crying, screaming...

As I consider myself to be interculturally interested and open-minded, combined with a strong feeling of wanderlust, I joined CS.
