About Me

I am a chill out,open-minded and single gay guy. After ten years' live in Hong Kong and five years' travel and nomad life, I am back to Chengdu and happily work as a fund manager. It is a very challenge job but I truly enjoy the process of making investment decisions based on the changing conditions of financial markets and geopolitics.

One sentence to describe me. I am curious with this world and try to achieve a better self by exploring this world and communicating with people all over the world. That's why I am keeping on travelling and by far I have visited 114 countries. I like to explore the diversity of this world and learn things from different aspects. During my five years' travel time,couchsurfing experiences were my best memories. so I decided to pass on CS spirits and continue to host in Chengdu.

Why do I live in Chengdu? Three key words for Chengdu are panda🐼, hotpot🌶and inclusiveness🏳️‍🌈. These make Chengdu the most recognizable and popular city in China. Chengdu old city haven't changed its location for more than 2000 years, and Chengdu people live a very chill and relax lifestyle.

Another interesting thing I found is Chengdu and Amsterdam have lots of similarities. Both city have a lot of canals and rivers; They solved the problem of flood so people could live a safe and happy life.;Both city are quite liberal. Chengdu is the most open and LGBTQ+ friendly city in China. Both city have a lot of coffee shops,book stores and bars.

My home is open to people of different genders, sexual orientations, races and religions. Let's explore Chengdu together. I am sure it will bring you the most authentic Chinese experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have traveled around the world for three years and it significantly changed my life. I became a digital nomad and enjoyed this lifestyle. I learnt the diversity of this world and became a world citizen. What's more, I especially treasured the difficult experiences in my trip as I learnt how to overcome the difficulties and be positive.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am fancy with spiritual things. I could share you the essence of Tibetan Buddhism and I am open for all other religions.

My favorite animal is snow leopard. They inhabit in Tibetan plateau but their living environment is under threat. Their numbers are the indicator of how healthy the environment is. I could share you my understanding of environment protection in Tibetan plateau.

Based on my experiences in mainland China and Hong Kong, I could share you with the Greater China Region from Chinese's point of view, HKer's point of view and outsiders' point of view. It will help you to understand the conflict. I believe communication and understanding would help to achieve a better world.

I like to listen to people's stories. I believe all people's stories make up this whole beautiful world and I am always inspired by their stories.

I am a fund manager and I could not only give you advice how to manage your money to achieve your financial goal, but also share my understanding of meaning of wealth.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My smile and positive attitude toward life
