Right after graduating, I relocated to Asia. I've had my base in China from 2017 to 2023. During that period, I've had my home in 6 provinces and municipalities, each move came with new people, new cultures, and a whole new side of the country to discover. It was life changing experience to say the least. I've had the privilege to explore more corners of China than many locals ever get the chance to see, but my ultimate goal is to visit every part of it. At this point, I’ve spent most of my adult life there, so I consider China as my second home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
