Hello everyone, my name is YuanYi, a Chinese girl.

🌍
In January 2024, my boyfriend and I started a backpacking trip around the world. We want to see what the world looks like with our own eyes and make friends with people from different countries and regions.
So far, the countries we have traveled together:
Nepal🇳🇵-Laos🇱🇦-Cambodia🇰🇭-Thailand🇹🇭-Sri Lanka🇱🇰-UAE🇦🇪-Egypt🇪🇬-Kenya🇰🇪-Tanzania🇹🇿-Malawi🇲🇼-Zambia🇿🇲-Zimbabwe🇿🇼-Botswana🇧🇼......

Along the way, we made many friends and have many interesting travel stories, looking forward to sharing with you. ❤️

🌳
I love nature and outdoor sports very much. I like hiking, climbing and cycling, and learned scuba diving in 2024. Outdoor sports make me love life and the world more. I can get great happiness, freedom and comfort in nature.

🏔️I have climbed three non-technical snow-capped mountains:
the second peak of Siguniang Mountain in Sichuan Province, China,
Haba Snow Mountain in Yunnan Province, China,
Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania

👣I also have many long-distance hiking experiences: Nepal EBC Grand Loop, Wusun Ancient Road in Xinjiang, China, Duku Highway Cycling in Xinjiang, China...🚴

I am eager to hike, climb, cycle, rock climb, dive... all over the world
I look forward to meeting friends who love outdoor sports as well!
Embracing nature is like embracing the earth. 💚

🍳
It is worth mentioning that we love cooking Chinese food very much and look forward to sharing it with friends from all over the world. 😋

Finally, I like a sentence from Couchsurfer:
"You have friends all over the world, but you haven't met them yet."
Looking forward to meeting, thanks for meeting. ❤️
