Hi there! We’re Johnny & Clover, a fun couple in our 20s currently living and working in Shanghai. Johnny is a programmer who spends his days fighting with code — and occasionally winning. Clover works in legal — so you’ll be staying in safe, responsible hands. We used to live and study in Los Angeles for 2 years, so we totally get the travel bug, and we are super comfortable with cultural exchanges and English conversations! And of course, the real star of our home:Budai, our adorable three-colored cat.🐱 Budai means “Little Cloth Bag” in Chinese — she’s soft, chill, and very friendly.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
We want to meet interesting people from all over the world, make real friends, and help more people understand the real China — how young people actually live here. I’m also planning to start a channel about Couchsurfing to share stories and spread this amazing culture. Hosting you will be part of that journey! We’re easygoing, clean, respectful, and love cultural exchanges. Hope to meet you soon!
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: Huge fan of Chinese cinema, especially kung fu films like Ip Man. Music: I’m learning guitar — still a beginner, so be gentle. Games: Casual video game lover.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
We once traveled all the way to Alaska, went deep into the Arctic Circle, and chased the Northern Lights in -40°C weather. It was freezing, crazy, magical, and 100% worth it.
Teach, Learn, Share
We can teach you real daily Chinese. We can cook you homemade Chinese food. We’ll show you authentic local life in Shanghai — where locals eat, hang out, and have fun. If you’re interested, we can even help you experience real Chinese village life.🥳
My Interests
Before work took over, Clover was totally into sports—an 8-year CrossFit lover who also loved skydiving, bungee jumping, and traveling everywhere. But yeah... work kind of turned me into a low-energy person, so not so much into sports these years 😅 Johnny, He’s all about gaming, gaming, gaming! and board games. He can talk about them for hours!
