About Me

Hi there! I’m a native Chinese who loves exploring new places and cultures. I’ve traveled to several countries and really enjoy outdoor activities like swimming, skiing, and paddleboarding — even though I might not look like the outdoorsy type! I’m married, and my wife and I are starting our Master’s studies in Australia in February 2026. One of the main reasons we chose to study abroad is to experience new things, meet people from different backgrounds, and broaden our horizons.

GitHub: https://github.com/bawn — if you’re a developer, you probably know what that means. 😉

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting friends from different countries and exchanging various cultures. I was once an Airbnb host, having hosted guests from many countries. But as you may know, Airbnb has now shut down in China.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went skydiving — of course with an instructor — and also went paddleboarding in the sea with my wife, trying to circle a small island. We also took a road trip around New Zealand in a campervan.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're interested in programming or Chinese, we can exchange ideas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’d love to share my travel stories, especially from New Zealand, where my wife and I traveled around in a campervan. I can also share insights about Chinese culture, language, and food. If you’re interested in tech, I’m a software developer and would be happy to talk about coding or projects.
