Overview
About Me
Born and raised in Canton (South China), moved to Shanghai and stayed for 10 years.
Then curiosity kicked in. I left Shanghai and spent 2 years in Yunnan enjoying mountains, slower life and amazing food, followed by 2 years in Guangzhou, a lively city full of energy.
And now a new adventure: I started my new life in Paris from 2024
I love discovering places through people rather than social media. Local markets, small cafés, random walks, long conversations… those are my favarite parts of the trips.
Traveling, for me, is a way to understand the world a bit better—and sometimes to understand myself too.
Always happy to share stories, food or a drink together while exchanging travel stories.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Introduced by my classmate and friend. We met native Korean couchsurfers in Jeju who were really nice and warmhearted. Then I became a big fan of it. I had unforgettable couchsurfing experience in Nepal, Turkey, Australia and France
