大家好。我是英国人但住在美国。 I grew up on the southwest coast of England, lived 2 years in South Africa. Spent 6 yrs Royal Navy. 2 years in Scotland. 2 years in Zimbabwe and now live in Virginia, USA. I am learning Chinese / Mandarin.
Visited China for five weeks in October/November 2024, stayed with three surfing hosts. It was this travel plan that originally brought me to Couch Surfing. I was back to China Oct/Nov 2025 for six weeks. I hope to go again sometime in 2026.
Note: I will only trade contact info in person.
I stay on this re-mailer until then to prevent scamming and phishing

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard the app was good for places to stay in China.
And surprisingly it was very interesting to end up hosting people from around the world.
