Meet May, Your Guide
As a bilingual creator and slow travel storyteller based in Chongqing, I focus on immersive, unhurried experiences that allow travelers to truly feel the rhythm of a city. Rather than rushing through attractions, I believe in walking slowly, eating locally, and blending into everyday life.
More than being a guide, I want to welcome people as a local friend — sharing the Chongqing I genuinely love, from hidden streets and local food spots to quiet riverside walks and vibrant night scenes.
To me, the meaning of travel is not simply about seeing more places, but about feeling more connected — to people, to cultures, and sometimes even to yourself
Roots
Small Things I Love about Chongqing
Chongqing has never been a city that feels calm.It’s humid, crowded, loud, and unbearably hot in summer.But somehow, whenever I stay away too long,I start missing it again.
I miss the late-night barbecue stalls that never seem to close,the light rail running through apartment buildings,and the way this city feels like a movie outside the window.
I miss cold beers on plastic tables outside, convenience stores,summer night conversations,and the very Chongqing way of treating life like “just chatting for a while.”
Sometimes I think the way I travel now was shaped by this city all along.The love for street life,for imperfect and honest places,for quietly observing how other people live.
Maybe Chongqing never taught me how to travel.
Maybe it taught me how to live inside chaos.
Journey
From the World Back Home
There was a time when I was constantly moving.
Back when I worked as a flight attendant,I got used to midnight airports, changing time zones,and a life that always felt temporary.
Later, I started traveling alone.
I went on long road trips across the United States,got lost on winter streets in Moscow,and dove into the deep blue waters of Palau,where the world suddenly felt quiet,I walked the Olle Trails alone in Jeju,spending days with nothing but wind, footsteps, and my own thoughts....
