Hi everyone, My name is Iris, and I’m from Beijing, China. I lived in London from my mid-20s to mid-30s. In 2024, I moved to Qatar with my husband and son, and I’m excited to begin a new journey in the Middle East. Inshallah. When I lived in the UK, I traveled extensively across Europe and the Mediterranean as a solo traveler. I truly enjoyed staying with my Couchsurfing hosts and deeply appreciated all the help and kindness they shared with me along the way. I also love meeting new people while traveling. All those wonderful connections made my trips so unique and unforgettable. To give something back, I started hosting female solo travellers when I lived in central London, as a way to encourage them to explore the city. Since my son was born, my life has changed a lot. I would still love to host travelers again in the future, but for now I’m more available to meet up or offer local advice. Enjoy Couchsurfing. Happy travels!
