Hey! I'm Jiaxin — or Jackson, whichever's easier.

I grew up in Jiangxi province in China, did my undergrad in Shanghai, and now I'm doing a Master's in Mathematics at Imperial College London. I also did a solo trip through Tunisia not long ago — ended up making some of the best friends I've ever made on the road, completely by accident.

I'm travelling through Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Belgium and Paris from March 19th for 10 days. I cook, swim, vlog, and I'm somewhere on the journey of figuring out what it means to be an influencer — which is mostly just me pointing a camera at things I find genuinely interesting.

What I'm really hoping for on this trip is conversation. I'm curious about what it's actually like to live in your city — how it's shaped you, what you've pushed back against, what you've had to adapt to. I've moved between pretty different worlds myself (rural China, Shanghai, London, a stranger's couch in Tunis) and I find that the most honest stories people carry are usually the ones they don't tell tourists.

Happy to cook something, share stories, or just listen.

Would love a place to stay if you're open to it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once coordinated a team of 700 volunteers across four large-scale events in a single month.
My job was logistics — making sure everyone was fed, housed, and knew where to be. But what I actually spent most of my time doing was paying attention to people. Figuring out what someone needed before they asked. Noticing when a group was burning out. Finding small ways to make a shared experience feel like something worth remembering.
By the end, strangers who had only known each other for a few days were hugging and crying at the goodbye. That told me something I still think about — that the depth of a connection has very little to do with how long it lasts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories — growing up in rural Jiangxi, studying in Shanghai, living in London. Three very different worlds, and I'm still making sense of all of them.

What it's actually like to coordinate 700 strangers and somehow make them feel like a community by day three.

The slow, humbling process of trying to build something as a creator — what works, what doesn't, and why I keep going anyway.

And honestly, just good company. I don't think every evening needs an agenda.
