As a traveler who’s explored 30+ countries across five continents, I believe every journey becomes meaningful through the people who share it. My adventures have taken me from hiking the Inca Trail to volunteering at a surf school in Bali, from celebrating Día de Muertos in Mexico to soaking in Budapest’s thermal baths. While I cherish iconic sights like Machu Picchu, my fondest memories involve cultural exchanges – learning to make ceviche from a Lima grandmother, bargaining for textiles at Oaxaca’s markets, or discussing flamenco history with hostel mates in Andalusia.

What makes me a great guest? Three things:
1) **Adaptability** – Whether sleeping in a Peruvian village homestay or navigating Mexico City’s metro at rush hour, I embrace local rhythms.
2) **Reciprocity** – I love sharing skills, whether cooking Hungarian goulash from a Budapest market recipe or teaching basic Mandarin phrases.
3) **Respect** – I follow house rules meticulously and always leave spaces cleaner than I find them.

As a sustainable traveler, I prioritize connecting with communities – attending neighborhood festivals over crowded tourist spots, and supporting family-run businesses like the Balinese silver workshop where I apprenticed for a week. My backpack always carries small gifts from China (tea/paper cuttings) to exchange with hosts.

Currently obsessed with documenting street food culture, I’d be thrilled to join your grocery shopping trips or help prepare meals. Fluent in English and Mandarin, with conversational Spanish, I’m equally comfortable with quiet reading nights or lively city explorations.

Let’s create memories beyond typical tourism – maybe you’ll teach me your favorite local slang while we map out hidden gems in your city? I’ll bring stories, gratitude, and a reusable container of homemade Mapo Tofu to swap for your kitchen wisdom.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

As a solo traveler, I crave cultural exchange beyond stereotypes. When teaching dumpling-making to my Balinese silversmith hosts or discussing China’s 56 ethnic groups with Mexican travelers, I saw how shared moments dissolve misconceptions. Couchsurfing lets me safely explore the world while offering my perspective – like how Shanghai grandmas debate spice levels differently than Sichuan chefs. I want to be both storyteller (sharing minority folk songs I documented in Yunnan) and student (learning your family recipes). Let’s prove trust transcends borders, one kitchen conversation at a time.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

During the summer vacation, I did some voluntary teaching in Benidorm, a coastal city in Spain.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

As a culinary ambassador from Southern China, I’ll share authentic family recipes like Cantonese claypot rice or Sichuan-style stir-fries. My travel stories span 30+ countries – think Mexican Day of the Dead rituals or navigating Budapest’s ruin bars. With a collaborative mindset, let’s brainstorm creative projects: perhaps fusion pop-up dinners or cross-cultural storytelling workshops. Every dish and conversation comes with genuine warmth and curiosity!
