IMPORTANT!!!!! Because I cannot always check CS in China Mainland, make sure to install WECHAT and find/add me there with this ID: LAPSCREEN IMPORTANT!!!!! Because I cannot always check CS in China Mainland, make sure to install WECHAT and find/add me there with this ID: LAPSCREEN I write it twice that you really see it - hope it works. WeChat is easy to install and makes China convenient - especially the implemented translation and location functionalities. Without WeChat all is much more complicated - also between guests and host.

Hi, Travelers 👋 Greetings from ambassador in Macau. This is Miles 😊, a typical small Asian with a big dream. I’m a … -Cat person ( I have a lovely Cat 🐱 at home !!) - Hotelier - Casino worker - Adventurer - Life explorer…… Experiencing and making some new friends are always welcome. 🌈 *All weekdays I will be working and only available after 7 PM * I usually don’t host people during the weekend but you can feel free to ask :D If you are interested, feel free to add me on: Facebook: Miles Matthias Instagram: Miles_lao

CURRENT MISSION Have a positive impact on as many lives as possible! Gain as much experience and wisdom as I can by always learning. ABOUT ME I love experiencing new cultures, foods and people. I have been to over 130 countries across all 7 continents. I work very hard during the school year and try to make the most of my vacations by exploring the world. I am mostly looking for someone to hang out with to do normal things in your country in order to really immerse myself in local life. I’m not a normal tourist and don’t need to go to all the “famous tourist spots.” I don’t take a lot of pictures, unless I want to record a memory. I really love people and revolve most of my travel around the people I meet and the friendships I make. If you think I sound interesting, contact me. PHILOSOPHY Christian WHAT CAN WE OFFER YOU? If I don’t respond, it means I didn’t pay for my subscription. I am very appreciative of the Couchsurfing community and would want to help you avoid any inconvenience. I will clean up after myself and try to be as helpful as possible while I am with you. I love to help you with daily life, for example, going with you to the grocery store, doing dishes or other errands. I try to be proactive in making sure you have a pleasant experience and I would encourage you to be direct with me if there is something I can do to make your life easier. My expertise includes all things China, law, international relations, business, culture and religion. I'd love to have great conversations about life and would be willing to speak at any local universities if there is a topic that would be beneficial. I live in southern China and would be happy to host you if you want to visit. Our families live in California wine country, San Francisco area, Vancouver Canada area and Idaho. We’d be happy to show you around if we are there at the same time. Or if we aren’t visiting, we can try to connect you to our relatives and friends. If you have a church community or a community service group, I also enjoy volunteering.

78 countries and counting! IMPORTANT: We have 2 year old twins and just moved to Zhuhai. We're interested in meeting up for hiking, biking, or meeting other families with young children. We'd love to connect with other couchsurfing families in the region in Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, or Zhuhai or anywhere in between We hope to start hosting again soon as we have a spacious apartment. You can find a link to Maribel's CS profile here: https://couchsurfing.page.link/PVev19vtpmKXwMBF8 You'll have the best chance of being hosted by us if you mentioned specifically why we'd get along well and you're planning to stay 2-3 nights. Also if you're requesting to stay with us and you don't send an official CS request there's a good chance we might not respond to your message as we have so many requests and we prioritize our responses based which dates are coming the soonest (the ideal time to write is 1-2 weeks before). The easiest way for us to decline a request is when a potential guest doesn't write anything specific we have in common in the request. For a much better version (pre-massive CS overhaul a few years back, and with embedded captioned pictures) of my CS profile, see here: https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/1029828/profile/legacy CURRENT MISSION Explore the world! ABOUT ME I got into CS when I was living and teaching math at an international school in Fez, Morocco (2008-2011) and hosted many amazing CSers! Since then I've lived in Raleigh, North Carolina (2011-2013) for grad school and taught math for 4 years at an international style school in Guangzhou China (2013-2017)! Spent a year living in the Bay Area (Oakland/Berkeley, 2017-2018). Then I worked in Mexico City for a couple years before moving to work here in Istanbul in 2020. I was featured in the Shenzhen Daily talking about my CS experience a few years back.
