Why I’m on Couchsurfing

why not？
I love talking with locals every where I go, thats the best part of traveling, most of the unforgettable memory in my trip is about human, about the nice local people and culture. CS is just the platform to do the things I like

Interests

Biggest interest is football, super fan of Fulham FC (the London original club) . I watch football a lotttt, I know players and clubs from most of the countries. And also I play football for more than 10 years. So if you also a football fan I can talk with u for a whole day(even more).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

solo travel in 7 Latin America countries for two months when I was in 19 and can't speak any Spanish that time

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you is everything about China that I'm so proud about. I’ve been to pretty much all the provinces and areas in China before I moved to London, so if you’re planning a trip to China, I’m the one to help.

For other things, Id like to say share with you rather than teach you, like my travel experience, my life in London, my study, my work......

And I always believe everyone is my teacher that I can learn a lot from (this is philosophy from the great Confucius）

What I Can Share with Hosts

As above I can tell you everything about China where I grew up , and my travel experience in 40+ countries. Also I am happy to make you an authentic Chinese meal if you dare to try something 🥵 (just kidding , I can also make something friendly😋 if you can’t stand🌶️ )
