About Me

(Important: I accept personalized requests, or interesting souls. I’m not your hotel, nor your tour guide, nor your mom)

I has been a good cook for a long time. I love food and have the honour to take it as my study, and even take it as my career. Now I'm fighting for the sustainable transformation of food system (in other words with stupid people placed on wrong positions) at international organizations.(and bureaucrats)

Gain my pleasure in two main directions. In the articles and labs doing research and losing hair... Or traveling like a free ghost...

Huge camping fan, can sleep at anywhere and anytime. Some weird places I slept: tomb in Chongqing, adandoned toilet in Tibet, the teachers' office of an elementary school in Taiwan, a bench at Asari-eki station in Japan, Hamburg Hbf...

Travel like locals. One method that I practiced is to wonder around on streets and markets in a new place, 'stealing' the "identity" and pretending to be local. It really helps me capture the sense of local life. I really don't like the boring spots, which unfortunately, China has a lot... I want to try local food, behave like a local during my stay, forget who I was during the visit

Not typical Chinese kid but also deep inside super Chinese. Have a huge passion for the traditional culture. Also have the unfair advantage of knowing how to buy cheap stuff and travelling with little budget. But please don't open the conversation with stupid stereotype and politics at the first sight, if you start to ask me about human rights I get bored and gone easily.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Making friends is alway cool in travelling. They saves you out from tourist bubbles.

On CS there are some pretty cool people, former backpackers, street artists. You always learn and get inspired from them. Kind of fuel you with ongoing passion for exploration.

Most realistic, I'm a poor master student. Also in my balance, spending 20 euros for some local food is always better than paying for a bed at Hostel, which is more "needed" just to make you maintain dignity, seperate from homeless or suspicious under police's eyes...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleep on the ground of Tokyo station for missing overnight train to Takamatsu, whilst sharing an illegal downloaded Endgame Avenger with some homeless for one evening at age of 19.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you cook Chinese food and share knowledge about food. Also I'm good at gardening and housekeeping stuff. But don't try to learn Chinese with me seriously, you might get a weird southern accent.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Story from China; traveling experience; insight in food; healthy tips; craft beer; urban legends; life under CCP...
