Overview
About Me
👋 Hey! I'm John, born in Fujian China
🌊Now adrift in the beautiful chaos of life
🚗 Am hitchhiking the world (with my dog 🐶 shown in
the avatar) - just need your wisdom🧘, advice🧭, and
a little kindness💛

🎩 Studied Applied Physics:
* Bachelor at Xiamen University🇨🇳
* Master at TU Delft 🇳🇱
* Internship in Barcelona (long story — but it shaped
who I am today)
---
我来自福建莆田,物理出身,曾在荷兰、巴塞罗那和中国多个城市生活过。
🌍现在正搭车环游世界(和封面里面的那只小狗重山),计划一直向西绕地球一圈,期待你的建议和帮助。
😵💫 过去两年做过量子工程师、物理老师和调酒师,不幸陷入存在危机(或者万幸?)正在在探索人生新方向
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Hotels don't tell stories, but you do 💬💛 So I hitchhike, couchsurf, and talk to strangers
I chase serendipity ✨, black swans 🦢, connections 🔗, random beautiful moments 🌸. It's not just travel ✈️, it's philosophy 🤯

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I survived a master’s degree at TU Delft in 2022 🎓💀⚡… and I’m still proud of it today.
In the past 2 years, I lived 3 lives:
- Quantum Engineer 🧑💻
- Physics Teacher 📚
- Bartender 🍸
Didn’t find ‘the answer’😵💫
but found some damn good questions 💡✨
Teach, Learn, Share
Kinda stoic on the outside 🧘
Kinda chaotic poet on the inside 🥀🔥
Three concepts I keep learning, living:
Romance 💫|Freedom 🕊️|Adventure 🌊
Still figuring them out - but loving the ride 👨🦽So I want to have a conversation ☕️ about them
What I Can Share with Hosts
- 100% listener energy 🧏♂️
- Always down to learn how you live 👤
- Might cook, might clean, definitely vibe 🍳🕺
Let's share a story before we part ways 👋
