About Me

YOU MUST HAVE A VISA TO VISIT MAINLAND CHINA TO CS WITH ME! Even though Zhuhai (my city) is very close to Hong Kong and Macau you still need a visa to visit mainland China, otherwise you will not be able to cross the border.

Now that we got that cleared up ;) I am friendly, a bit geeky, outgoing, respectful, fun, and very CLEAN. I am currently teaching English in Zhuhai, China. I have a very nice but small studio apartment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am teaching in China, I have a 1 bedroom apt. It is set up very nicely and I would love to share it with travelers passing through the beautiful city of Zhuhai. I would also like to meet some really cool people. I usually live in Los Angeles CA but I will be in Zhuhai until 7/2016.

Teach, Learn, Share

Zhuhai is a small clean city in the Guangdong Province. Zhuhai is very close to Macau and Hong Kong. Zhuhai shares a border with Macau. However Macau and Hong Kong are special administrative regions of China. So this means that it is easy to get a visa for those regions, it is however a bit more difficult to get a visa to visit mainland China.
Zhuhai is a garden like coastal city with clean air and blue skies.
I live in the Xiangzhou, District of Zhuhai. It is in the northern part of Zhuhai. I am about 4 kilometers from the ocean.

What I Can Share with Hosts

PLEASE NOTE: Even though Zhuhai is very close to Hong Kong and Macau you still must have a visa to visit mainland China if you want to come to Zhuhai.

I can offer guests a couch and a fold up cot. See pictures. The apartment is a studio, it's small but very nice. It has 5 separate rooms; a small kitchen, a sun room, a bathroom w/ washer, a living room, and my bedroom. I am on the 4th floor of a 30 story building.
