Hi there! I’m Kyle, originally from China. Now a new graduate living in Tokyo. At the moment I’m doing my last trip in south east Asia before working. Would be nice to meet some locals and grab some drinks cuz I wanna experience how locals have their daily life.
Hope to see you soon :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my opinion, traveling is not only a way to relax myself, it also provides me with an excellent chance to experience the world. To some extent, the societies where we grew up shaped our thoughts and even gave us some stereotype and bias about a specific place or a specific group of people. Therefore, my travel philosophy is terribly simple: wherever you are, be there. I wanna eat what you eat in everyday life, learn the dialect you speak and listen to the stories of you and your place. I think only through learning different perspectives can a young person develop open mind and critical thinking ability. (2019)
