About Me

*PASTED request will be REJECTED without Response*
There is a *SECRECT CODE * on my profile

Hi! I’m Phineas, a university student from Chengdu, China—the hometown of pandas. This year, I’ve decided to take a break from my studies and dive into a special “Gap Year” to explore the world in a way I’ve never experienced before.

When people ask me why I made this choice, I tell them:
I’m chasing freedom, the thrill of adventure, and the opportunity to discover both the new and the traditional. I want to see the world’s beauty through my own eyes, pushing my boundaries and stepping out of my comfort zone. Every new place, every new person, and every new experience adds to the courage I need to rise to life’s challenges.

I’m excited to meet new friends and share this journey with others. Let’s make some unforgettable memories together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hotels are fine, but they don’t ask you how your day was. I’m on Couchsurfing to meet locals, share meals, trade stories, and remember that the world is full of kind and curious people.

When I return home, I also wanna help people who are exploring the world like me.
Kindness found me on the road; hosting is my way of keeping it alive.
