I am an open minded person would like to embrace friends from all over the world.

My name is Ma Mengjia (while Ma is the family name and Mengjia is the name, in China, the family name comes the first), if it is difficult for you to pronounce, maybe Gail, my English name is better for you. However, I prefer you taking the challenge to call my really name, since it could be the first step to learn Chinese!

I originally come from the Northeast Part of China, but have been studied and worked in the south China for 8 years. I hold a master degree in Materials Science and Engineering.

I graduated last year and then started my career in Suzhou for an Italian company. I spent two year in the HQ, Milano. and just back to China a couple of months ago. I am now living in Wujiang, belongs to suzhou city. I have a spare room in my apartment, however, it is a bit far from city center, about 15-20kms away. If you want to visit Tongli, an old Chinese style town in Suzhou, my place is just 4 kms away. Let me know if you need help.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that everyone around you should have an amazing story, and everyone has his/her stories that need to be heard. I would like to listen to your stories and share happiness with you!

I have know couchsurfing for years, but since i didn't travel a lot abroad (just in China), so i never use it. Since now I have moved to Milano, I would like to travel around the world, and also welcome people come to Milano, coursurfing is surely a good way for me to give and receive.
