Hi, I’m
Giovanni.

I have lived in China since 2018. Life Shenzhen is the guide I wished I had when I arrived—and it grew into the work I now do for others: relocation help, purchase agenting at a flat 5%, and Chinese–English translation.

The education below is not decoration—it is the toolkit. Studying across four systems on three continents taught me, repeatedly and personally, how institutions process a foreigner: what a registrar, a bank, a consulate, or a landlord needs to see before they say yes. Getting to yes—on both sides of the language, without wasted trips—is exactly what I do for clients here. See how I work and what it costs →

What clients say · 客户反馈

“Giovanni had my SIM, bank account and residence registration done in one day—things the forums said would take a week.”

R. · relocated from Toronto

“He sent the store receipt and serial photos before I had even paid his fee. The drone was in Berlin six days later.”

M. · buyer in Germany

“In the factory meeting he caught a spec change nobody had translated. That catch alone paid for the year.”

S. · hardware founder
