Joe is my English name. My Chinese name is Xiao-Xuan, which is a bit hard for my German colleagues to remember, so I name myself as Joe.

I'm a outgoing, passionate company, a good story teller. I love travelling, diving, and cycling. I love nice food and cook well. The best Joe-Cuisine is Azerbaijan lamb with orange and pomegranate, which I learn during a travel to Russia.

I love to try exotic things, talking with people with different cultural background. I'm a amatour photographer.

I work as a physicist in biomedical optics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to try exotic things, talking with people with different cultural background. Living several years abroad, I found the best way to know a foreign place is to talk with local people. From them, one can easily know the best places or restaurants to visits in that area. Sharing stories with people is also a lot of fun. Couchsurfing for me to a lifestyle, a choice to explore unknows.
