Helping Expats Settling in Shanghai since 2011.

I am Genie Yip.
Orientation Consultant | Shanghai, China

From Expat to Expat

Being an expatriate myself, a trilingual person who has lived in this vibrant city for over a decade enables me to share my knowledge and experience with other newcomers to Shanghai from a unique perspective.

Ela & Tom 🇵🇱

“Genie is very professional, and understands very well what a person arriving in a new country and city needs. She assisted us very successfully in renting a flat, opening a bank account, helped us set up all the necessary apps on our phones and was a wonderful guide around Shanghai, we would have been completely lost without her. Genie is highly professional, always on time and trustworthy. Genie, thank you for making our stay in Shanghai so special.”

Mike E 🇺🇸

“Genie taught me so much about how to become a Shanghai-savvy expat. She saves us a lot of time, money, and frustration!”

Jasmine L 🇺🇸

“Even though I am a world traveller, Shanghai is overwhelming. After almost a year, I never felt comfortable until i met Genie. She made me start to feel at home in Shanghai.”

Phil & Family 🇩🇪

“Genie looked after us during three orientation days giving us a great start to our new adventure here in Shanghai. Genie is great to work with - from the first moment, she made us feel we could ask any question and really did run the extra mile to shape the tours in the best way possible. She proactively checked on many things which could be useful for us (apps, different means of transportation, how to order food, where to go in case of emergency, where to have some fun, etc.). Highly recommend - the whole family (including our two sons and the dog) enjoyed the time and learned a lot giving us a kick start making our daily life in Shanghai so much easier.”
