Travel agency for adventurous bike rides across China. Registered in Chengdu, China. Co-ownership together with my Chinese business partner.

During my three semesters at Sichuan University I not only gained significant knowledge about the Chinese language, but also built up a thorough understanding of the Chinese culture and it's people. By developing close relationships with my Chinese friends in both the academic and the business world I was able to continuously learn about the Chinese way of life. As a result I found out that I am totally at ease in this dynamic environment, no matter if it concerns a social setting or while doing business.
