Explore the world and cherish every moment. 🌈
I work as software engineer👨🏽‍💻 for a bank and base in Guangzhou, China. I am so-called “language enthusiast” and enjoy learning different languages as well as the cultures behind them.
Open for giving (if I can) or receiving advice. 📝

While I try to help with enquiries , I believe there’s some common sense that everyone in the CS community would know what kind of request is fine and what doesn’t make much sense.
Here’s some examples I have actually received so far:
• Can you advise me where to visit in Guangzhou? (Sure.)
• Can you advise where I can find some local taste while I’m Muslim/vegetarian/vegan ? (Sure.)
• Can you advise me where to visit in Shenzhen/Foshan/Zhuhai/the cities near Guangzhou? (Maybe. I’m more familiar with my own city but I will try help with my limited knowledge about nearby cities)
• Can you find me an apartment I’m going to move to your city soon? (No, but I can give you advice how to find by yourself)
• Can you find me a job? (No.)
• Can you sponsor my visa? (No.)
• Can you register and form a company with me in your city so I can apply for a business visa? (??? No.)
Cannot list all situations, just please think before sending.

If you intend to ask for a host, please consider below points:
•I cannot foresee my plan more than 2 weeks in advance. You can still send an early request but I can only set to “Maybe” and give you answer until a nearer date when I can confirm my schedule.
• Normally I host only 2-3 nights maximum at the start, if we get along well and I’m available, the stay can be extended.
• Please read the details in “My Home” section.

I have sleep apnea and snore during sleep, so I would bring a mini respirator with me during travel to counter that for the well-being of my CS host / other people in hostel. 🥲
When I’m at home I have a standard size respirator also for my own sake to get better sleep but I might not use it every day, if you stay with me and find the snore hard to handle, just don’t feel shy and remind me to put it on.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I like meeting amazing people during my travel, and offering assistance for people traveling to my city. I host people regularly in my city and when there’s chance I would like to stay with other hosts also when I’m visiting around.

I consider travel is a different concept to tourism which is just simply to finish a checklist of tourist spots. The spirit of travel for me is to immense in local culture, get closer to a local neighbourhood and build some connections with people from different backgrounds, and CS is a great opportunity for that no matter as a surfer or as a host.
As surfer I can get some insightful views about the city from a local host, there’s always surprises that I might receive awesome recommendations and get to know some hidden gems in a new place. 🗺️
As host I have the chance to spend some quality time with people out of my normal social circle from all around the world. I might not have the ability to go everywhere in the Earth right now, but when hosting people the whole world just comes to me.🌎

I was recommended to use CS when I did the long distance travel in my 25 for the first time in my life. I traveled alone through UAE-Greece-Egypt and met many nice people along my journey. From simply pointing out the way to generously spending time with me and showing me around (Thanks Kyrillos from Alexandria for your coffee), the kindness of each person made my journey perfect. Since then I believe I should further pass these kindnesses to more people.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I hiked down to the Kelingking beach in Bali Nusa Penida and hiked (or climbed?) up and I survived 😃
I hiked in Durmitor national park in Montenegro with a group of friends but I overestimated my ability and passed out in middle of nowhere. I didn’t die there and survived eventually with the support of my friends (and a rescue team) 😃

教，学，和分享

You are not really interested in me lecturing you Software Engineering, right? 🤨
Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese are my mother tongue and I can help you learn about them if you want. Also I can provide my guest guidance and advice around my city.
I’m expecting to learn from my guest about their cultures and backgrounds. There’s always something I don’t know!
I’m excited to exchange stories with new people. Each of our experiences is unique and remarkable.
