CURRENT MISSION Travel Around the World ABOUT ME I am friendly, open minded, a bit crazy sometimes:) movie fan, like making friends who are humorous, sincere and easy-going, adventurous
I am an editor-turned-marketing professional. I host couchsurfers from the great city of future in Shenzhen, sharing an apartment with my significant other. The apartment's got panoramic view of the lush green in Meilin Park, and you'll be greeted with sunrise and a good mood. I do welcome all to visit and share with you about what I do (and I'd love to hear about your life adventures as well.) If you are visiting Mainland China for the first time, a few things to prepare before crossing over: 1. Sign up for Alipay and register your bank card with them. You'll need Alipay (or Wechat pay but the verification process takes longer) practically everywhere for payment, public transport, taxis, etc. 2. Have a VPN service or load up on your data roaming so that you can still access most of the services that you are familiar with: Google/Youtube/Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp. 3. Use Apple Map for directions or, if you have a proper translator service, download AMAP for all transportation information and accurate POI information within Mainland China. 4. If you are arriving from Hong Kong, consider taking the high speed train to Futian station. It takes less than 20 minutes and is significantly easier than using MTR East Rail. Pardon me for my low response rate because I do not check CS as often as I should have (partly because I have been blocked by the paywall for a while now). I have tried other platforms/communities as well but haven't had experiences on par with that of CS, despite it now being a paid service. Let me know if I could be of any help though--other than accommodation as well.
My name is Huan and I am a 29-year old from Chinese and an aspiring backpacker:I am travelling around the world to achieve my dream.I am on the road and I have been to 102 countries~nearly all developed countries~That leaves the African continent and Pacific island nations, as well as some countries in Central Asia and the Middle East.
CURRENT MISSION Meet lots of people, geocache, and to collect post cards from around the world! ABOUT ME My wife and I have moved to China My blog (not updated in forever)- http://www.tuminblog.com/ If you would like to check out my wife's couchsurfing page - https://www.couchsurfing.org/people/ameriserei I am an avid geocacher, would love to show people new caches in my area and find caches when I travel -I get a lot of requests, to increase your odds of being able to stay, please read - A few notes about my wife and I, and what you can do to increase the chance of being able to stay with us: 1. We rarely take a surfer for more than a few days. If you are looking for weeks or months, the odds are against you. 2. Smoking is only allowed outside the apartment complex. 3. We both work early in the morning. We usually go to bed around 11pm and the walls are quite thin, That being said, I will be very honest and say that anyone who uses the words "party" or "chill" usually will get a "no" response. 4. Any use of illegal drug will get you sent away, with the possibility that I will call the police. I am here on a work visa. I will not risk any of that so that you can party. 5. I read through almost all references of any potential couch surfer. If you have no references, that is understandable, but you should have pictures and a well filled out profile. I know that it is hard when you get started in this community (before people start vouching for you), but you should at least be willing to put a lot of information about you on your page. 6. Don't be preachy. I love to talk about philosophy, religion, anything really, but don't try to convert me. No, we are not vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, religious, etc. I don't mind if you are, but please don't take it upon yourself to convert us. :) PHILOSOPHY To explore and see new things
