Hey there~ I live in a 🌊apartment in city center of Qingdao. Few minute walking distance to beautiful seaside park. 🛋️Surfers will have a nice private guest room which has a bed, table, closet and total privacy. 😊BUT 🏕️ 🌟please understand that I prefer to host on weekdays as my time is more flexible and relaxing. On weekend I’m pretty occupied Which mostly I might say No for request on weekend🕵🏻‍♀️ ❤️🌟‼️Please understand that I can only host guests with 8+ positive references so that I can know who you are instead of inviting a total stranger in, as I’m a girl I have to know who I gonna meet right? Haha 😆 😇I’m clean and minimalist myself and always keep clean when I stay with hosts, Simple things like Cleaning the sink after wash, wash dishes after use are basics. I also appreciate it when my guests do so. 🙃For new users of CS, writing a very personal and informative email is always helpful when looking for a host. I feel not respected when I read an email without even addressing my name. It doesn’t happen often though, so no big deal 😆 —————————————— 😎My motto: Be curious. Be silly,Be kind,Be weird, Be wild, Be yourself. 🤓PHILOSOPHY Never stop learning and exploring the world and yourself. The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page. 🫶🏻💓As a guest during my trip, I usually prepare some Chinese tea and Chinese lucky charms,souvenirs and post cards for my hosts. CS is about trust and share and respect. I like meeting people with same values. and welcome you to Qingdao,China one day:) ————- Who am I❓👼💞 I am Aurora from Qingdao, a beautiful coastal city located on east coast of China.

I've explored diverse destinations including Iceland, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Austria, Monaco, Vatican, the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Serbia, Japan, and more. In my leisure, I enjoy both ice skating and ukulele. I've received a lot of kindness from people all over the world. With a heart filled with gratitude, I long to make friends with authentic travelers who appreciate the journey, just as I cherish every gesture of generosity and never take anything for granted. 🌍🤝

CURRENT MISSION Learning Chinese - Training for ultra-trail races. ABOUT ME I'm an extremely dynamic person, that always needs to be involved in something new, no matter what it is. Iper-active, doing one hundred things at the same time and doing them in the best way I can. But in the same time I'm also a really calm person that likes to enjoy with the most simple things, to relax into the nature and to contemplate what is surrounding me, from a sunset to a wild horse running in a prairie.
