Who we are

Co-founder
Dan
Dan is a conference interpreter, born and raised in China and living in Europe since 2003, working across Chinese, English, and French with international organizations.
She is naturally curious and easy to connect with. She asks questions, opens conversations, and creates a space where everyone feels comfortable to engage — with the group and with the people you meet along the way.
Thoughtful and well-organized, she anticipates needs before they arise, making sure everything flows smoothly.
Her dual culture allows her to move effortlessly between perspectives, sharing China in a way that feels personal, nuanced, and far from clichés.
Traveling with Dan, you don’t just visit China — you connect with it.

Co-founder
Nicolas
Nicolas is Head of Data in a luxury maison in Switzerland, used to navigating complexity and connecting the dots.
Open-minded yet selective, he cares about choosing the right places to create truly memorable experiences.
Outside of work, he is endlessly curious, always looking for new places, new ideas, and new experiences. He enjoys getting lost in hutongs, discovering great local restaurants, sharing a drink with locals, and letting the unexpected become part of the journey.
Through his photography and his book China Impressions, he explores China with a sense of curiosity, aesthetics, and storytelling.
Traveling with Nicolas means discovering China beyond the obvious, and simply enjoying the experience along the way.
We designed Qizumi as the kind of experience we would love to join ourselves: thoughtful, human, and genuinely enjoyable.
