I'm 30 years old and live in Chengdu, China. In 2015, I started long-distance cycling in China, and in 2023, I embarked on a round-the-world cycling trip. I've already cycled through various parts of China, as well as 32 countries in Southeast Asia, East Asia, Central Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Now, My plan is to cycle across the Australian continent, from Perth to Sydney, and then from Sydney to New Zealand. A round-the-world cycling trip has always been my dream since childhood. I love everything about this world and believe in the inherent goodness of humanity. I enjoy meeting friends from different races and countries around the world, tasting different cuisines, and learning about different lifestyles and customs. Over the years, I've met many interesting friends on the road, and their warm hospitality is invaluable. Of course, I'll also share my round-the-world travel experiences with everyone. Perhaps it's fate that we met. Finally, my hometown, Chengdu, is a very beautiful place. I hope you can visit my hometown. I will do my best to entertain you. Thank you.
Iโm on a backpacking trip during my vacation, hoping to see different parts of the world, meet people from various backgrounds, and explore the similarities and differences between cultures. Iโm someone who enjoys talking with people and always respects others. When staying in someoneโs home, I do my best to be quiet, clean, and considerate. I always try to be kind and respectful, but as a traveler from a different culture, I sometimes worry that I might unintentionally say or do something that could offend others. If anything I say makes you feel uncomfortable, please know it was never my intention, and I sincerely apologize. Youโre always free to stop the conversation at any time โ your comfort matters.๐

COUCH STATUS In winter I live in snow mountain in Chengdu and Jingdezhen May to Oct sometimes inactive for several months As a host: meeting travelers for me is like traveling without the hustle of planning or the necessity of moving, open to urban exploration and foodies hang outs! One piece of advice for tourists to China - don't be too ambitious As a traveler, I travel mostly guided by my interest and activities (i may go to same place again and again) rather than unlocking new terrains. I'd also surf when such opportunities arise, though I am not brilliant in planning ahead. Not a global nomad but I'm lucky enough to have had the resource to form a relatively worldly view and fair amount of open-mindedness. Medium is the message
*I kept all the STATUS below to record my travel status in the my couchsurfing years* I move back to Chengdu, Sichuan province where I left for 12 years. During the past decades, I have been lived in Guangxi, Shanghai, Gansu, Xinjiang and Guangdong due to study and work. Right now my girlfrend and I decide to build our life in Chengdu for the rest of our life. I have been to all Chinese provinces so I can tell I kindly know many aspects of China. I would like to share my opinions for all travellers as I got many thoughtful ideas from CS when I started it. You can read the 'status' below to know my CS atittude. Chengdu is an interesting city that you can find only the typical China, but also a very mordern and fancy China. People says Sichuan is the 'Italy in China' because there are many tasty food in Chengdu and Chengduers are very chill and layback. Peoples also describe Chengdu as the 'Atlanta in China' because the underground culture is proseprous here. In all, I'll say Chengdu is Chengdu, it's never been somewhere else, the unique Sichuan cuisine and containable culture alway welcome you. Come, to feel the city! --- Status (Feb 2024): Hi, I know many of you might travel across the silk road and will have a layover in Lanzhou. I am also an expat here as I am trying work and live on the silk road (China side) to deeply understand this great communication route of human history. I have been living in Kashgar(Xinjiang), Yining(Xinjiang), Urumchi(Xinjing, Altay (Xinjiang) and Dunhuang (Gansu) during the past years. I am settling down in Lanzhou for recent years, while you have any question about silk road just feel free to ask. I have beening work in cultural areas for several years, including cultural education, cultural travel and museum support. Chinese history, Silk Road history, Dunhuangology and Minority Culture(especially silk road ethinics like Uyghur, Kazah, Chinese muslim, Chinese nomads) are my areas. Will be happy to share to all friends who want to know the other side of China. Actually there is not much thing to do in Lanzhou as it is just a transit hub, 1 day is enough for yellow river and best beef noodles (ramin) in the world! 2 days for other unique cuisine like the Chinese halal food and local Gansu food. --- Status (Jan 2024): Planning for a new international trip after Covid.

Travel, for me, is a metaphor for the unpredictable. I was born in Patagonia, where nature speaks out loud and the silence teaches you things. Former pro basketball player โ now I work as a player development coach. I'm also a sociologist and a curious researcher, always looking at the "why" behind things. I attempt to play guitar, enjoy writing when the words find me, and Iโm always chasing culture โ whether itโs through food, stories, music, or street corners. Depending on the topic, I can be a great listenerโฆ or I might go on for a while. Most of the time, I live healthy โ but I wonโt say no to good wine or street food. Chess player.
My name is Jay, people love to call me Coach J or Jiaxin(My first Name). I used to be a professional swimmer. I pursued my masterโs degree and worked in the United States for many years. Now Iโm back in China and have founded my own company: Flying Stars Sport. I'm also the new host of Friends House. Iโm really into outdoor hiking, snow mountain climbing, rock climbing and a whole range of other outdoor activities. ๐ FRIENDS HOUSE Stay ยท Share ยท Connect Our Story Friends House was founded in 2012 by Josh & John. Since then, it has welcomed Couchsurfers from all over the world, offering travelers a free place to stay and a chance to experience local life in China. In 2025, Josh and John moved to Dali, and Friends House was passed on to Jay. Today, Friends House has moved into a new home, but the idea remains the same: > Open our door. Meet people from around the world. Share cultures. Make friends. And the story continues. ๐ --- ๐ก Our New Home The new Friends House is a cozy two-floor loft. 1F โ Shared Space ๐ Living room ยท ๐ณ Kitchen ยท ๐ฟ Bathroom ๐งบ Washing machine ยท ๐บ TV ยท ๐ Free Wi-Fi 2F โ Sleeping Area ๐ Two rooms ยท ๐ Wardrobes ยท โ๏ธ Air conditioning We also provide our Couchsurfers with basic necessities for free: **Slippers ยท Toothbrush & toothpaste ยท Shampoo ยท Body wash** The kitchen, washing machine and shared spaces are available for you to use. Make yourself at home. โค๏ธ --- ๐ฌ Thursday English Corner Every Thursday evening, Friends House becomes a little more lively. We invite local friends to join our weekly English Corner. It's not an English class. It's a place to talk, laugh, share stories, meet people and make new friends โ in English. As a Couchsurfer, we'd love you to join us and share something about yourself, your travels, your country or your culture. You don't need to be a teacher. Just bring your story. ๐ ๐ฅพ Weekend Adventures On weekends, we often organize different sports and outdoor activities โ hiking, nature exploration, family activities and more. When possible, our Couchsurfers are welcome to **join our community activities for free. For you, it's a chance to experience China beyond the usual tourist spots and meet local Chinese friends. For our local friends, it's a chance to meet someone from another part of the world and learn about a different culture and language. That's what Friends House is about --- โค๏ธ More Than a Free Bed Friends House provides accommodation for free, but we hope it can be much more than that. We hope our guests are willing to **participate, share and connect**. You don't have to spend every day with us. You don't have to join everything. But while you're here, we hope you'll become a small part of our community. Come as a traveler. Stay as a friend. Leave with a story. Welcome to Friends House. Since 2012 ยท Chengdu, China
