I’m an independent developer currently living in Lincang, Yunnan. It’s a quiet and peaceful place with a slow rhythm—great for travelers who want to rest for a bit. If you’re passing through Lincang, I’m able to host and offer a simple, clean, and comfortable space. I’m also happy to share what everyday life here feels like.

Before becoming independent, I spent 16 years working full-time in the tech world—basically a long chapter of being a “corporate workhorse.” Eventually I decided to live a bit differently, so now I build my own projects while exploring cities at my own pace. I’m a classic tech homebody: I enjoy coding, reading, listening to music, and having quiet time to think. I don’t smoke or drink, I keep a pretty regular routine, and I value personal space and privacy.

I like wandering between city streets and nature, taking my time instead of rushing. I enjoy conversations that are genuine rather than loud. If you prefer relaxed, pressure-free interaction, we’ll likely get along very well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I enjoy meeting people in a relaxed and genuine way. I’m currently living in Lincang, Yunnan, and it’s a peaceful place that many travelers don’t get the chance to experience. Hosting allows me to connect with people from different parts of the world and exchange small pieces of our lives and cultures.
