Born and raised in Guangzhou, China, educated in the U.S. (10 yrs in total), global-minded 🌍

Full-time tree hugger and digital nomad - experienced sustainability professional and an entrepreneur wannabe to build something with environmental and social impact 💚

Traveling is living intensified, all my time + money go into traveling and exploring. But flying is my guilty pleasure...from all the emissions ✈️

71 countries later, I haven't found one place I want to "settle down" in, realizing there's simply no perfect place, so the only solution is to keep moving!

I don't drink/smoke/party, but I still have fun 😊

Spring 2025 Update - After digital nomading for a year or so, I'm in Berlin (April - June) temporarily for a venture building program in climate tech :) Will be roaming around Germany and EU for a few months. Excited to explore this side of the world!

Spring 2024 Update - Currently back home in China! Staying between Guangzhou and Shanghai. Meanwhile trying to figure out where to next :)

Fall 2023 Update - graduated in May, currently in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for an entrepreneurship program!

Summer 2022 - Graduate student in the US studying environmental management at Yale. Interning in Nairobi, Kenya and traveling around in Africa and the Middle East for summer 2022 ☀️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seeking authentic local experience and looking for share my stories with whoever is interested!

I registered my CS account all the way back in 2010...but only started using it to surf in summer 2022 when I was traveling in the Middle East. I've since met SO many cool people on CS who truly made my travels special and memorable in many countries. It's truly a special community around the world - an embodiment of a possible...global village! Can't wait to have an opportunity to host, one day, somewhere!
