Hi everyone, this is Eric. I’m originally from Chongqing, China 🇨🇳, currently working in Shenzhen, a city close to Hong Kong.

I’m deeply curious about the world and genuinely enjoy learning about different cultures through real human connection. I’ve lived and worked in both Europe and the Middle East, experiences that shaped how I see people, places and myself.

Writing is one of the most important parts of my life. I love documenting the stories, moments and people I encounter along the way, and I hope to publish my own books one day to share these reflections and experiences. ✍️📖

I’m inspired by nature, photography, and music. Whether it’s a quiet walk, capturing a fleeting moment through a lens, or getting lost in a piece of music, these things help me stay grounded and present. 🌿📸🎶

What I value most is genuine connection. Deep, honest conversations , the kind that allow people to really see and understand each other, mean a lot to me. I believe these moments of openness and mutual respect are some of the most beautiful parts of life. 🫂

⚠️Note about hosting
I host because I enjoy genuine human connection, not because it is an obligation.
Hosting is voluntary and sometimes plans change due to work, space, or personal reasons.
I value calm, respect and clear boundaries.
If you are comfortable with flexibility and mutual understanding, we will probably get along well.
