In 2011, I moved to China to learn Chinese in Suzhou University under Chinese Government Scholarship and eventually stayed there for 5 years, getting my Bachelor degree in Chinese. Then I moved to Shenzhen city for work. I worked in the Electronics sector for 3 years. In 2018, with one project, I got a chance to visit the US, and stayed in San Francisco.
I like tech and art. I enjoy movies, music, stories, boardgames.
I have traveled to 8 countries so far. I enjoy traveling and exploring other cultures, interacting with people and learning something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in the Bay Area, learning about Startup environment and looking for investment and other business partnership opportunities. My friend suggested me Couchsurfing, and I would like to try during my travels in nearby cities. It is very interesting to meet other people and exchange.
