Hallo, I’m Jianqiang!

Originally from China, come to Germany for my PhD in chemistry (related to climate change). And then decided to stay and started my career as an engineer.

I’m a curious soul, passionate about discovering the world, connecting with new cultures, and sharing meaningful experiences along the way.

Traveling for me isn’t just about places—it’s about the people, stories, and moments that make every journey unforgettable.

Let’s create great memories together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to explore the world not just through destinations but through the people I meet along the way. For me, traveling is about more than just sightseeing—it’s about exchanging cultures, hearing unique stories, and building connections that can make every journey unforgettable. I love meeting locals and fellow travelers, sharing experiences, and creating memories that go beyond the surface of a place. Couchsurfing is the perfect way to make this happen!

Tackled a challenging 25 km solo hike, climbing from 1,800 m to 3,330 m elevation in just 8 hours. Navigated the breathtaking landscapes and rugged terrain of the Caucasus mountains—a test of endurance and an unforgettable adventure.
Why am I alone? It’s a long story…
