About Me

Hello Nihao!

I am a 100% native city hunter of Beijing.

I like to make friends with people coming from all exotic cultural backgrounds.

I am easy-going, down-to-earth and full of ideas to share with you.

.........................................
Maybe more details

I studied marketing and business management in the UK and New Zealand. I work as a half commercial creative guy. My girlfriend is currently doing her MA in London so I may have the chance to host you at home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many!!

Crossed Thailand-Cambodia border alone and was examined by the armed force just because of my ugly black backpack in 2010:-p

Met a wonderful Japanese friend on the way to Cambodia and very interesting we found out that we were doing the same job at the same company serving the same client in our own country!:-)

I blindly bumped into a chic restaurant in Kyoto one night asking for my favorite noodle that is obviously not listed. However, the chef himself cooked a special tailor-made one for me!! Followed by a happy drink treated by a local family. All of them made my Kyoto trip unforgettable!

Teach, Learn, Share
