MEET YOUR HOST - CHER
"
Have you ever dreamed of visiting China but felt overwhelmed by the planning? Are you worried about the language barrier or the idea of traveling alone in a distant, foreign land?
My name is Cher. I was born in China and lived there for 10 years. For the past 3.5 years, I've been traveling the world full-time, exploring 35 countries. Yet, China remains at the top of my list, and I cherish every opportunity to explore its vast and diverse landscapes.
Traveling in China as a foreigner can be challenging, which is why I invite you to join me on this journey to uncover the beauty and richness of China's cities and scenery. With my fluency in Mandarin and expert trip-planning skills, I promise to make your experience in China effortless and enjoyable.
You will immerse yourself in a culture as deep as its history and a landscape as picturesque as a painting. We'll forge connections and create memories that will last a lifetime. As a professional travel content creator, I'll also share valuable photography and videography techniques, helping you capture breathtaking visuals and craft unforgettable content throughout our adventure.
I can't wait to embark on this amazing journey with you and share in the wonder of exploring China together!
