Welcome
From 20 to 35 I was an active Couchsurfing host and traveller, making friends from dozens of countries. Now I'd love to welcome you to my home in Chengdu as a true local, and share a real, warm slice of Chinese life.
About me
I'm a freelance creative in Chengdu's Wuhou District: city tours, event planning, short videos, MC work, voice-over and tea promotion. I also make travel vlogs, so if you don't mind being on camera, you might end up in one!
Languages
I speak English and Mandarin.
Outside the kitchen
I'm passionate about Chinese tea culture and storytelling through video. I love exploring Chengdu's hidden gems, from old teahouses to new creative spaces, and asking guests about their work and life back home.
Travel experience
Between 20 and 35 I travelled through Couchsurfing, staying with local families and hosting travellers from around the world. I've made friends from dozens of countries along the way.

The experience was great and meaningful. At first, his mother cooked us a local food dinner with verity of typical daily and festive dishes. Afterwards we went for a walk around the neighborhood through a beautiful garden. We really enjoyed the chat, that gave us the opportunity to look into the chinese lifestyle.

A very special experience in Chengdu! I gave this local dinner as a gift to my son and his friends – and all four were absolutely thrilled. Dragon welcomed them incredibly warmly and, together with his mother, cooked a royal feast for them. The atmosphere was personal, authentic, and full of hospitality. For my son and his friends, it was not just a meal, but a real experience that they will remember for a long time to come. Many thanks to Dragon and his mother for this wonderful evening. I would love to come back – absolutely recommended!
