My wife Jiajia and I are spending around 2 years traveling to different parts of the world. Both of us like backpacking, and we love to meet new people and make new friends.

I am very interested in ESL learning and teaching.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since we are last-minute where-to-go deciders and most hosts need time to get ready, we don't do much couchsurfing. We stay in hostels/hotels most of the time, but sometimes CS/airbnb could be better. Basicly, there are three main reasons why we are on CS:

1) To make small interviews - get to know how people learn a foreign language, and of course share how we learn :P

2) To have a bit deeper conversation with people we stay with in order to learn how locals live their lives and better explore the places we go.

3) To save money, of course. We would love to host people when we can, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My most significant other and I had a RTW trip together -- we spent 838 days travelling to 42 countries in 5 differents continents and made a lot of interesting friends. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

As an ESL teacher, I teach spoken English, reading and writing skills.

We'd always love to learn to cook different kinds of food!

We'd always love to share our travel stories and everything else we know.
