Hello, dear hosts and fellow travelers!

My name is LIU WEICHENG, but you can call me Vincent, Vicente, or even Vincenzo if we’re speaking Italian! I’m 25 years old and come from Sichuan, China, the home of pandas and hotpot. 🌶️🐼

I studied Portuguese for two years in Portugal, so I can handle basic daily conversations. I also speak English and, of course, Chinese. My love for languages has taken me to many cities in Italy, and now I’m working in Angola as a translator, helping Chinese and local people communicate. I also manage drivers, coordinate schedules, and handle business outreach.

Living in Africa has been an eye-opening experience. I have witnessed breathtaking landscapes, but I have also seen the fragility of life up close. It made me reflect on how short and unpredictable life is, and I realized that I want to see as much of the world as possible while I can.

###A Bit More About Me 🌍
I love exploring new things, learning new skills, and expanding my knowledge. Lately, I’ve realized that I really love animals—they are adorable and fascinating. I would be happy to live and work on a farm or ranch, spending time with animals and taking care of them.

I also love the ocean—there’s something about the vast, endless blue that captivates me. 🌊

When I’m not exploring, I enjoy video games and dream of creating my own game one day. 🎮

I also love cooking and can make many Chinese dishes, including the currently viral Tomato & Egg Stir-fry. 🍳🍅 If there’s an opportunity, I’d love to cook some Chinese food for you!

I enjoy meeting new people and taking photos (I’m still learning, but I love capturing moments). 📸

For me, travel is not just about places; it’s about people and their stories. I want to listen, learn, and share—whether it’s around a campfire, over a meal, or while working together on a meaningful project.

If you're looking for someone who is curious, open-minded, and always up for an adventure, I’d love to be part of your journey! Let’s make memories together. 🌍✨

Looking forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m setting off on a journey to travel the world—starting with Europe! For me, traveling is not just about checking places off a list or taking pictures at famous landmarks. It’s about immersing myself in the culture, history, and everyday life of the places I visit.

That’s why I joined Couchsurfing—to meet locals, share experiences, and truly understand the places I visit beyond the surface. I’m excited about learning from people, exchanging cultures, exploring local food, traditions, and lifestyles, and most of all, listening to people’s stories. And of course, I’d love to share mine as well!

If you enjoy deep conversations, cultural exchanges, and spontaneous adventures, I’d love to connect with you! Let’s share meals, stories, and experiences—because, after all, traveling is not just about places, but about people.

Looking forward to meeting you somewhere in this big, beautiful world!

Music, Movies, and Books

🎵 Movies, Music & Books I Love 📚
I love all kinds of music and movies, regardless of genre. But if I had to pick a favorite, I’d say I have a special love for mystery and detective films—there’s something about solving a good puzzle that excites me!

Besides traveling, I have a deep love for video games. They are often called the ninth art, and I absolutely agree. Games are an amazing medium for storytelling, culture, ideas, peace, and love—like a movie where you are the main character.

Some of my favorite games include Outer Wilds, Minecraft, and pretty much anything from Rockstar Games. Each of these has given me unforgettable experiences, whether it’s exploring the vastness of space, building my own world, or getting lost in an immersive story.

I also enjoy photography, though I’m still a beginner, slowly learning and practicing my skills.

And I love singing and going to karaoke! But… let’s just say I sing with enthusiasm, not with skill. 😆

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

🌍 The Most Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I think the most incredible thing I’ve done is moving to Africa alone to work. Traveling thousands of miles to a completely different world, experiencing life in a way I never imagined—it changed my perspective forever. I have so many stories to tell, and I’d love to share them with you!

Teach, Learn, Share

🎓 Teach, Learn & Share
I can teach you Chinese, help you choose a meaningful Chinese name based on your personality, and give you insight into what life is like in China. I’ve also lived in Portugal, Angola, and Italy, so I can share interesting experiences from those places too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

🤝 What I Can Share With My Hosts
As I mentioned earlier, I’d love to share my stories, my culture, and my experiences with you. I can also cook delicious Chinese food.

I like to bring small gifts for my hosts as a token of appreciation. And if circumstances allow, I’d be happy to help you with some work—whether it’s around the house, on a farm, or with anything else you need!

Looking forward to meeting amazing people and making unforgettable memories together! 😊
