I'm a senior data scientist. I enjoy traveling to meet people, share thoughts, and learn about different cultures. There are always good stories to tell and to listen to.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

First to meet new and interesting people! And to share interesting conversation.

Expectations for Guests: If I am the host, I may not have time in schedule to help you with requests. To be clear, you are responsible for paying for your own travel-related expenses and I do not lend money, you will need to prepare and manage this. Please clean up after yourself. I normally do not accept guests staying for more than a week. I can only offer guests air mattress, pillows and blankets at my place or a couch, as I do not have any extra beds. No smoking or recreational drugs at my place, please.

Just wish to set expectations straight since it can vary so much by individual. If this does not align with your expectations, please consider another host, as I wish to maximize positive experiences for both sides.

Expectations for Hosts: If I am the guest, I normally be sharing tea and conversation. I may not necessarily be able to spend a lot of time to hang out with you - it really depends on schedule as to whether we would consider spending time to tour around - especially if I am working. Note I usually sleep earlier than 11PM, and usually wake up 7AM if we are in similar timezones.

Although I carefully read your profile in case before requests - I may not be able to glean your expectations. If you require clarification before accepting a stay, please do tell me and do not hesitate, so we both have a positive experience.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Music: Classical and Pop
Movies: Sci-fi, Horror and Documentaries.
Books: wide range of non-fiction - mostly biology, biochemistry, entrepreneurship, history, statistics, econometrics, sociology, and theology. I do occasionally enjoy popular fiction and sci-fi, but I don’t read fiction often

Lehren, lernen, teilen

My main interests of research are econometrics, macroeconomics, statistical learning, formal methods, and biotech (specifically infectious diseases, certain medical devices & pharmaceuticals).

I’m proficient in Cantonese and conversational in Mandarin, and multiple programming languages. I personally experienced and am well read in Chinese history, culture and art.

I used to do dropshipping mainly in consumer electronics selling goods on eBay, after a trip to the Canton trade fair at wholesale pricing.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I usually bring aged tea brewed in a hand-painted gaiwan or if I run out, I also have some specialty coffee with me. Sometimes both. I will warn you in advance, I’m a bit of a tea snob haha! If you do not sit well with anything that has caffeine, don’t worry about offending me though!
