ABOUT ME Optimistic pessimist or pessimistic optimist.
I'm a photographer on the way to becoming a journalist, currently living and working in the GBA, Canton. I'm planning to continue my studies in France soon. For me, photography is where stories begin — a way to reach out and to see the world with a bit more tenderness. Documenting has always been at the heart of what I do; through visuals, I try to understand how people and places shape one another. I've wandered through the streets of Bangkok at dawn and climbed Hallasan in Korea alone, slowly realizing that leaving China doesn't necessarily mean entering the world. I've learned to keep my curiosity alive, and along the way, I've found that what I love most is listening to stories. Field research has become my second window into the world. I didn't change Africa, but Africa changed me. My first field trip was in Kenya — an investigation into wildlife conservation. We visited local NGOs, animal welfare advocates, and residents from Maasai communities. The second was in Sichuan, the home of pandas, focusing on local lifestyles and values. The third took me to Hanoi, Vietnam, where I explored perspectives on the “Global South.” And perhaps, the next one will happen in Istanbul… I truly believe that there's no better way to understand a culture than living in a local friend's home. That's probably why I'm here on Couchsurfing — to experience different ways of life through real encounters, and to share my own stories in return. Nice to meet you, and I hope our paths cross somewhere in the world. Bonjour, je suis photographe, en chemin vers le journalisme, et je vis actuellement à Canton. Je vais faire une licence en France. La photographie a été pour moi une porte d’entrée vers le monde. Le travail de terrain, lui, en est devenu la deuxième fenêtre — une manière d’écouter, de comprendre et de rencontrer les autres autrement. Voyager m’a appris que quitter son pays ne signifie pas toujours entrer dans le monde. Ce qui m’y guide, finalement, ce sont les histoires des personnes que je rencontre. Je crois sincèrement qu'il n'y a pas de meilleur moyen de comprendre une culture que de séjourner chez un ami local. C'est sans doute pourquoi je suis ici sur Couchsurfing, pour découvrir différents modes de vie grâce à des rencontres authentiques, et partager mes propres histoires en retour. Enchanté, et j'espère que nos chemins se croiseront quelque part dans le monde.
🐘Holi :) this is Labu from Hangzhou, China (I live in Guangzhou now) Past life: A Peruvian from the Andes ⛰️🦙 This life: A global citizen from China 🥢🥟 I consider myself as a global citizen, and I want to live like a nomad, deeply understanding as many cultures as possible within my limited lifespan, broadening my perspective and enriching my life. I started solo traveling since I was 18 and it has greatly changed me: the people I've met and the things I've seen along the way have helped me grow, allowing me to discover a second and third self beyond my primary identity 🌍 Couchsurfing is a community full of love for me. Through this platform, I have met many amazing people and received so much kindness and love. Now I would like to host travelers from all around the world in Guangzhou and continue spreading that love. Before sending me a couch request, please take a moment to read my Home Section. Thank you so much! 🤞
CURRENT MISSION Live life with happiness and spread joy and love ! PHILOSOPHY freedom to think choose and be
