Hello everyone 🙂👋 My name is Dan 。
I was born in a small village in China，So I didn't travel very far until I was eighteen。
After high school, I headed to the big city for university。
The only good thing is that I've been longing for the wider world。
During university, I started working part-time and no longer needed any support from my parents。
I use my spare time to travel around the whole of China by taking cheap trains。At the same time self-taught photography, recording my life，as a vloger.
After graduating from university, I started to get my driver's license。Then I bought a 2002 Volkswagen Polo for five hundred dollars，I did the repairs myself, changed the tires, changed the color。
Driving this Polo, I set off from Shanghai, located on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, headed west across more than a dozen provinces in China, and finally arrived in Lhasa, Tibet, the westernmost point of mainland China. Finally, drive to Everest Base Camp.
During my travels, I have been recording my life with cameras and drones, making videos and uploading them to the Internet. Also produced different types of documentaries about Chinese society. Together, these videos have hundreds of millions of views on the Chinese Internet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a person who grew up in China and a social observer, I always have a very loving enthusiasm for the outside world. You know, China is very different from Western countries. So whenever I go to a new country, I like to communicate with the locals. However, due to various reasons such as time and energy, I was unable to communicate deeply with the locals until I discovered the form of CouchSurfing. Forgive me for not trying to use it for the first time until 2023.
So now I'm ready to start a whole new way of documenting my travels.
