Hi there CouchSurfers! Welcome to the homepage of this veteran traveler who has visited 60+ countries! For expats an easy pronunciation, you can call me Timo🤓

I’ve been living in Zhengzhou for more than 15 years and consider it my second hometown. I’m proud of its 3,600-year history and the rapid development of modern industries. Welcome and trust you will find the surprises by exploring the city!

Currently I am working for a Chinese technology enterprise engaged in HR related work for solar photovoltaic and energy storage business. But I always have the business trip in SEA, Australia, Eastern Europe and Middle East Region. I will return to Zhengzhou time to time for holidays. When I am at home, I’ll enable the dates to be available on CS to host and/or hang out.

As a traveller like you, I also have many stories that happened during my travels. I finished a 423-day world trip in 2017, a 2,500 km bicycle trip alone in the summer vacation when I was in the university, a 20,000 km self-driving tour in Tibetan and Northwestern regions of China in 2022, and more. As of 2024, I have traveled to 62 countries in Pan Asia-Middle East-Europe, Africa, and North America. I learned more about the CS culture during the trips and felt the world much more clearly. THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG CULTURE AND IDEOLOGY, ONLY DIFFERENCE.

Also, I comprehend that it’s not easy for us travelers sometimes. We have to deal with the troubles, try to get rid of someone unfriendly, manage to reach more destinations. But it’s true that after above all, our curiosity to explore the world never ends!

Therefore, I’d like to meet real CSers who can understand the CS culture and follow the community rules well. BTW, 🏳️‍🌈 are warmly welcome!

Thank you for your patient reading. If you need any kind of assistance when you are traveling in Zhengzhou or some places around, feel free to contact me!

Not into guest/host:
- Racist
- Homophobic
- Religious fanatics (I respect all the beliefs but it's ratherly improbable that I'll accept to be converted)

大家好，我叫Timo，辽宁+河南的“混血”，目前定居郑州，因工作关系会经常到国外出差，如果我的Couchsurfing上日历显示为可接待客人，那么我就是在家。

和大家一样，我也是一个对旅行十分热爱的人，也在过去的十几年中在路上发生过许多故事，遇到过很多让人兴奋、开心、沮丧、刺激甚至危险的事，所以我非常理解同样是背包客或长期旅行的你，不是路上遇到所有的事都让人顺心，不过回过头来看，这都是经历，都是人生不可多得的财富。所以我会出于过来人的角度，尽可能提供给你需要的协助。如果你来郑州或周边地区，可以随时联系我。

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

In my summer holiday in 2013, I was riding bicycle from Zhengzhou(Central China) to Shenyang(Northeastern China) alone. The total way is about 2500KM and it cost me 21 days.
And lost 10kg weight after that.😌
And got fat back 1 month later.😂
在2013年大三暑假，我从郑州骑单车到沈阳，2500KM，历时21天，瘦了20斤。然后一个月以后又胖回来了。

教，学，和分享

I have a strong sense of rhythm, and I can easily play every piece of music I listened to on the piano without music score.
But I never learned how to play piano. It's just a hobby.
If you have or/and you can play the piano, we can share something on the keyboard instead of words.😄
-----------------
I have traveled more than 400 cities around the whole China. If you are interested in it, I can tell you what is happening in this land in the past and present.
我已游历了中国所有省市区超过400个城市。
