Overview
About Me
Travel lover ;dog person
Personality is Gemini + ESFP
Worked in banking and luxury retail
🇨🇳I was born, raised, educated, and worked in Shanghai until 27. Apart from short trips in 30 countries, I had never really left the city. While I enjoy the adventure of living and working around the world, it has also made me realize just how remarkable China really is : from its extraordinary development, to its breathtaking range of natural landscapes and geographical wonders, and the rich tapestry of cultures, traditions, ethnicities, languages, and cuisines that together offer every imaginable element of travel and exploration — a combination unmatched by any other country in the world.
🌍To me, happiness is about having the liberty to experience life in different parts of the world on my own will. So far, I’ve spent the past few years living in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and now Thailand. I’ve deeply enjoyed every place I’ve lived, worked, and travelled through, especially the interesting souls I met. 🧳Life is short . I still enjoy the rhythm of moving — a year or two in one country feels just right for me. Living in London, New York or Paris will be my goal in the very near future. After spending a few years abroad, I’ve realized how much I belong in a big city. 🤣
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing, above all, is about mutual respect and genuine equality. A host opens their spare home to connect and build friendship, as couchsurfer, I like to contribute in my own ways — with a gift, a home-cooked meal, or picking up the bill for a nice dinner — as a gesture of courtesy.
Whether I’m hosting or being hosted, what matters most is staying open to new people and truly wanting to understand each other’s lives. And as someone who has experienced both sides, I sincerely hope we can all use this platform in a decent and dignified way — ⭐️⭐️⭐️as a space for cultural exchange ,rather than cutting costs.
❤️❤️❤️
At the end of your self-introduction, please mention which three countries I lived in before Thailand — just so I know you’ve actually read my profile. If not, please don’t reach out and I will decline your request directly,thanks.
