给远方的朋友送去杭州的问候

潘那白由旅行达人变身G20杭州峰会宣传大使。他驾车横跨亚欧大陆，带着杭州温度的礼物，分送给30个国家的友人。

环游世界，曾经被列入许多人的梦想清单。31岁的潘那白也有同样的梦想，但不同的是，他把梦想变成了现在每一天的生活。过去几年中，他去过的国家累计起来已经超过百个。

2016年7月中旬至9月初，G20杭州峰会杭州侨界大使潘那白从新疆喀什出发，与伙伴们驾车横跨亚欧大陆，途经伊朗、土耳其、意大利、法国、英国等30个国家，给外国友人带去了独特的杭州记忆。

旅行达人变身G20大使

潘那白生长在西子湖畔，早些年曾去英国留学。回国后，喜欢自由的他脱离“朝九晚五”的枯燥生活，选择当一名自由职业者。他开过网店，做过“沙发客”，是中国最早的“沙发主”之一。现在，他是一名旅行家，偶尔兼职旅游节目外景主持和酒店试睡员。对生活充满热情的他，正在一步步实现他环游世界的梦想。

与以往不同，这次欧亚之旅潘那白还带着一个特殊的任务：作为杭州侨界大使，一路宣传G20杭州峰会与杭州文化。

潘那白是怎么从旅行达人转变的呢？潘那白笑着说，其实是一次意外的收获。

今年年初，杭州市侨联与杭州海邦英国留学联盟举办“侨界宣传大使”选拔赛，希望海外留学生、华侨能借G20杭州峰会向世界展示魅力独特的杭州。某次，潘那白与朋友聊天，朋友提到这件事，并怂恿潘那白报名参赛。在过去，每次旅行，潘那白都会深入当地人文生活环境，与当地人交流分享中国和杭州的文化。“那时，我正在计划今年暑期的30国亚欧之旅，刚好途经英国、法国、意大利等多个G20成员国。”于是，他带着自己的旅行计划参加了宣传大使选拔赛，因为可以让更多人了解杭州、了解中国。最终，潘那白以“G20亚欧之行”方案，赢得“杭州侨界宣传大使”称号。

7月13日，潘那白带着杭州市侨联精心准备的礼物，从新疆喀什出发。印有G20杭州峰会Logo的手机壳、杭州城市风貌书签、西湖十景明信片、杭州龙井茶叶等，足足装了好几箱。一路上，这些带着杭州温度的礼物，被潘那白亲手送给当地外国友人。

他乡遇故知的喜悦

潘那白认识的外国朋友，也许跟他认识的中国朋友数量差不多。亚欧之旅每到一地，潘那白总会找到曾经的熟悉面孔。这些人，基本上都是他在杭州结识的。

“既然我不能走向世界，就让世界走向我。”刚毕业工作时，潘那白不满足于每年一两次出国旅行。他将客厅里的沙发空出来，通过知名的沙发客网站“Couchsurfing”，邀请全世界各地的人来免费睡沙发。2009年至今，潘那白接待过来自100多个国家的超过600名沙发客。

随着沙发客越来越多，客厅已经不能满足需求。潘那白将自己的工作室改成了沙发客之家，能同时接待20多人。他曾接待过一些对杭州很痴迷的外国人。有一个波兰房客，去潘那白家住了三四次。因为太喜欢杭州，最后自己租房子定居杭州。有一个美国房客，近十年每年都来杭州，痴迷于杭州文化，正在写一篇相关的论文。

在这次旅行中，几乎每到一个国家，潘那白都会去翻记录，给曾经接待过的沙发客发邮件。在浪漫的巴黎城，潘那白发现了很多年轻沙发客的记录。几年前，他们带着巴黎时尚都市的活跃气息，与潘那白在杭州相遇；如今再见时，充满惊喜，房东居然来到自己的国家了，不可思议。

距离潘那白上次去巴黎，已经时隔五年。这次又到巴黎，他约上几个前房客，一起见面吃个饭，像老朋友一样聊聊近况。

多年不见，不同的际遇让大家都有了不同的生活。再次重逢，仿佛是和纯粹的陌生人聊天，却又似曾相识。在巴黎的潮汕人Remi当初与4个同学一起住在潘那白家，如今他们5个都已经工作了：4个在巴黎，1个在丹麦。

记忆，在话语中满满复苏。时光如昨，却已经跨越千山万水。

越来越有吸引力的杭州

与老朋友聚会时，潘那白都会与他们分享杭州近几年的变化与趣闻。

“杭州对世界的吸引力越来越强了。”这次旅行中，潘那白切身感受到了这一点。

在法国、英国、意大利等G20成员国旅行时，潘那白发现，当地人都知道杭州，也知道这一届G20峰会在杭州举办。即便在一些小国家，说到杭州的风景、文化、美食，当地人也会心生向往，还有不少人问潘那白怎么办中国的旅游签证。

除了美食、美景，外国友人最感兴趣的是杭州人的生活方式。在伊朗，与沙发客聚会时，潘那白就这一主题做了深入分享。

在国外发达城市，出门花费基本靠信用卡，网上购物与手机支付远没有国内普及。而在杭州，电子商务模式已经渗入现代人的生活方式。外国友人很难想象，在今天的中国，网络下单的商品最快当天就能送到手中。他们更难以想象，在杭州，出门只需要一只手机，一天的生活开销都可以交给手机上的支付宝。

“中国人说到哪里都能用支付宝，我本来不信。”8月22日，德国人阿福在网上订了一张上海开往杭州的火车票。身上不带一分现金，体验了一天的杭州生活。这一天中，从餐厅吃到烧饼油条摊铺、乘公交车、借充电宝等，阿福刷一下手机就全部搞定了。

据蚂蚁金服最新公布的外籍人士在华的支付宝使用状况显示，支付宝开始涵盖老外在华生活的方方面面。数据显示，在外籍人士最常用的支付宝功能排名中，网络购物高居榜首，超过80%的老外爱用支付宝购物。

“对世界来说，杭州有着越来越强的吸引力。”潘那白对沙发客说，随着全球互联互通，杭州的电子商务模式也将影响其他地区的发展和生活方式。

Seasoned traveler Pan Nabai drove across the Eurasia immensity to play his role as the “G20 Hangzhou messenger”， bringing the “Hangzhou temperature” to 30 countries.

Messenger Pan Nabai

By Zi Li

It is the dream of many people to travel around the world. A round-the-world tour is also the dream of Pan Nabai. The only difference between these armchair dreamers and Pan is， for the 31-year-old， the dream is woven into his everyday life. He has traveled in more than 100 countries over the past few years.

Born in Hangzhou， Pan Nabai spent several years studying in the UK. Back in China， he quit his nine-to-five office job to pursue freedom， running his online shop and enjoying couchsurfing. The part-time host of TV travel programs and hotel test sleeper spends most of his time traveling， and in his most recent Eurasian expedition he played a new role as a “Hangzhou envoy”.

“I should say the opportunity came as a windfall，” Pan answered with a big smile， when asked what it was that connected him with G20.

Encouraged by his friends， Pan Nabai signed up for the Hangzhou Ambassador qualification trials organized by Hangzhou Overseas Chinese Federation and a student community in Hangzhou. Pans G20 Eurasia plan， based on his traveling experiences in many of the G20 member countries， impressed the jury.

On July 13， 2016， Pan Nabai set off from Kashgar in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region on his Eurasian adventure to share the “Hangzhou elements” with the Eurasian audience.

“Before I can afford to see more about the world， at least I can bring the world closer to me.” To build more connectivity with the unknown world， Pan Nabai registered with Couchsurfing.com to invite foreigners to stay in his place in Hangzhou. Over the past seven years， Pans couch has served more than 600 couchsurfers from over 100 countries. Seeing the ever-increasing demand， Pan turned his workshop into a space that can sleep more than 20 people. One of his guests is a man from Poland， who stayed in Pans place several times and fell so in love with Hangzhou that he rented a place for himself and settle down in the city.

During his Eurasian tour， Pan Nabai enjoyed an exciting reunion with his former guests from Paris. When in Paris， Pan Nabai had a good time with Remi， who is from Chinas Chaoshan， and his four friends. Five years ago， the gang stayed in Pans place when traveling in Hangzhou.

“Hangzhou is continuously drawing its new legion of fans globally，” Pan Nabai shared. “Surprisingly， many people in France， the UK， Italy and many other smaller countries know about the city and the 2016 G20 summit，” Pan recalled with noticeable pride.

“The local cuisine and scenic wonders aside， foreigners are particularly interested in the Hangzhou lifestyle， as I noticed when talking to my couchsurfing friends in Iran，” Pan Nabai explained.

“Many people I talked to told me that it is hard for them to imagine how Chinas e-business innovation is reaching the everyday life of the majority of such a huge population. It is not easy for people in many countries where credit card remains a dominant payment solution to envision a life that is made so easy by a mobile phone and the almighty Alipay.”

“A guy in German shared with me his ‘no cash life of a day he spent in Hangzhou and told me how he was impressed with the citys ‘e-lifestyle”.

In fact， statistics show the magic of Alipay is benefiting all aspects of the life of a growing number of foreign residents in China and Alipay is the favorite payment solution among the countrys expats community.
