Cheryl - Tour Guide in Hangzhou

After seven years in the Netherlands and a year in Malaysia, I returned to my beloved hometown of Hangzhou, China.

I’m a nature lover who finds joy wandering through forests, hiking mountain trails, and diving into the ocean. Travel is my lifelong teacher: forging heartfelt connections and immersing myself in new cultures enriches my life.

Last but not the least, I’m a big foodie and love to host cooking workshop in my spare time. It’s so much fun to exchange food culture and share life stories.

My life motto? Follow my heart and live in the moment—because life is too short not to.

Response from Cheryl

Hi Carlos, Thank you very much! I also learned a lot about Brazil and Rio from you ;-) It's amazing to perceive things from a different background. And I am glad that you show strong interest in connecting your work with China in some ways.

I really enjoyed the tour with Cheryl. She is very kind, informative, patient and friendly. I would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to know more about local food and Chinese medicine (i even got a free diagnosis from a Chinese medicine doctor!!).

Response from Cheryl

Hi Nadja, Thank you very much for your kind words! Yes, we were so lucky to experience the once-a-year event with free diagnosis. So you are meant not to miss it, hahaha! Your Chinese level is so good and I believe you will travel to more cities in China in the near future! Hope your trip to Yellow Mountain went very well!
