Talk with people from different countries and various backgrounds.

To cope with different personal interests. As I am a private tour guide for my clients, different travelers will have their own needs.

There are always new challenges on this and I’m happy to receive.

Pudong river front promenade where is close to the modern highrises while overlooking the bund with buildings from the early 20th century.

Some area that can maximize using my English language skills.
