It is not easy for Chinese independent travelers as most countries have a strict visa policy for the Chinese, the exchange rate is not favorable and travel guides are written with a western audience in mind. But some young people, driven by the desire to learn more about the world, are venturing out.
In this special edition of XiaoQiao podcast, we meet Leylop (www.leylop.com), probably the most popular Chinese backpacker. Leylop has traveled across Western Europe, South East Asia, South Asia and Western China. Leylop is also a well known English language blogger in China.
Elin and Zhi Xin talk with Leylop ask her about how she started traveling, how she funds her travels, her experiences on the road and where she plans to travel next.

Hi
I am trying to find Leylop, as I am using a clip from an interview with her for a song, and have posted it on My Space page. Really would like to have her permission to use.
