About Me

I’m a singer/songwriter and restaurant/hotel influencer, some times I get free accommodation for promotion. I was born and raised in China(Chinese passport holder), but I studied in Los Angeles for 6 years, I have dual degree and I traveled more than 160 countries by myself. I don’t drink and I don’t smoke, either, also not interested in night club.

I’m a meat lover, but I can also eat vegetarian food with people who are vegetarian. I don’t like kebab, only like pure meat. I don’t eat any sour food such as: Tomatoes , pickles, vinegar, lemon. I can’t suffer any sour sauce like: Ketchup, blue cheese, some of the sour white sauce. But sour drink I don’t mind. 😂Not a fan of Turkish coffee and espresso, but I love juice and coffee latte.

I respect every culture and different religions, also understand people who grown up under different cultural background will have different political stand, you can fell free to communicate with me about anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

PLEASE READ 🌹

To all the hosts:

I would like to make everything clear before we meet, so we can reduce unnecessary misunderstandings.

First of all, thanks for everyone who offered to host me, I really appreciate your hospitality. I don’t have “princess syndrome” , but as a female solo traveler I prefer private room, it will be my first consideration. Please be aware it’s just a preference, if you want to host me without private room, you can also tell me.

I would like you to send me the room picture if it’s not showing up under your profile(There were some hosts offered me to sleep on the floor in the office, hall way with just a bedsheet), I left when I reached there but I feel sorry😞 … so I think send me the picture before I come is a better way to save both our time.

I understand some hosts don’t like their guests to stay at home when they need to work, but I might not be able to get up early to match your working schedule. So if you need me to stay outside when you go to work and let me in when you go back home, please tell me the exact time when you offer to host me. I had a host who’s a pianist, he needs to be naked when he compose music, so he asked me to stay outside from 8am to 10pm, it was a difficult experience for me.

If you willing to host multiple surfers at the same time, please make sure you have enough space for me before you send me hosting offer. One of my host offered to host me and the other 2 girls at the same time, I never been noticed that there’s only one sofa left for me which was not even long enough to sleep. I could have choose other host if he tells me in advance.

I’ve been more than 160+ countries, and I know in some places, using bucket water is common and usual. But for me, I take quick shower every morning, and I figured it’s hard for me to use bucket water. So if your place doesn’t have running water for shower, please don’t offer to host me. It’s just my personal habit, please don’t get offended.

CS is not a place to earn money from guests, I had one host asked me to pay 20 dollars per night for the room, after I refused to pay, he said bitch words to me, and left me a negative reference. I think it’s better to register a Airbnb instead of doing business here.

How did I start Couch Surfing?

I traveled a lot before Covid. I used to book hotels and Airbnb only (Booking Genius level 3, Airbnb has 75 reviews shows up in my photos), I don’t stay in hostel, because I can’t fall asleep if there’re too many people. I registered Couch surfing in 2019 but never used it, because I thought “Couch” surfing means I can only sleep on the couch.

I started to use it since July 2022. After I booked the last minute flight ticket from Iceland to Greenland, I noticed that all the hotels and Airbnbs were fully booked until the following year, so I downloaded CS back. I didn’t find any host in Greenland but received host offers from Iceland and I started using it.

After traveled alone for several years, I feel lazy to research and plan everything, also feel lonely sometimes, I appreciate it when local people show me around, tell me about their countries, or give me some local tips or advices.
