Hi, I’m XING CUN ( Vicky is also okay!)from China, now worked in Saudi. I’m a little bit introverted and need to recharge batteries from social activities often. But I enjoy meeting new people to learn different lifestyle. More friends open different gate to see the world for me.

I prefer simple and slow paced life and traveling / deep conversation/ long-time friendship.
When I travel to a new place, nature/ animals/art/history/ museum/local lifestyle/ are the things that will always be on the list to make me peaceful. I love taking the train and bus to enjoy the slow journey when I have free time!

I’m also curious and trying to lock more interesting lifestyle! I tried traveling by being volunteer in the bookshop in Tibet, running marathon in Dalian, and teaching in Thailand,🇹🇭
When I got the job in Saudi, I moved here. It’s a chance for me to immerse myself in Arabic culture and languages.

I have a driving license, but haven’t drive for many years, next step, I wish to drive to travel somewhere!

I try to provide travelers with help as much as I could as I was / am/ will always be a traveler!
( traveling tips, food, accommodation)

Now in saudi, I can only guarantee to provide a small living room, shared kitchen and bathroom. There's a door, which means you can keep your privacy. If I'm available, I will be willing to hang out together. I work routinely. I will host based on my mind, as I might be too tired from work to communicate with the surfer sometimes.
I prefer to host females and will consider decent males. It will be a good start to meet up and have a coffee first for the males, then we'll see.

If you are racist, patriarchist, freeloader, people who don't respect other's culture/ boundary/ space, or expect being treated like a queen and king, it might not be a good idea to text me.

Priority will always be given to the people who hosted me before.

I also have a warmshower account to host cyclist as I used to cycle often. I bought a mountain bike in uni. I enjoyed so much cycling with the club often. one day it was stolen. It happened many years ago. Now I'm waiting for a time to do long time cycling one day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

(!!!!!please note:this is not a dating app!!!!!)

(sorry I don't accept friend offer if we even never talk and meet.
It's not polite to ask other people to write you reference when you don't meet each other.
Besides, it's polite to write reference after other people host you.)

I believe most people on this app is here to pursue genuine and honest contact with respecting each other. If you want to flirt/ any sex / , please change a platform.

1. The philosophy is to know myself better and try to be a better versioned self. Traveling is one of important and useful ways I’ve found to make it. there's a saying like "human is water without shape. Like water put in different containers. human will be slightly different when faced different places, people and culture." Discover self when communicating with the world.

2. After working in one field, I realized there's huge need to meet more new people and have nice conversation!

As a host, I wish to know more traveler and help traveler when I cannot travel.
It's not okay to smoke at my place.

As a surfer,I’m Clean, independent and respectful about boundary/ culture/ space and time. I especially appreciate host's time. I don’t really drink alcohol and never smoke.

NOT INTERESTED IN SHARING ANY BED WITH ANY MAN AND ANY SEXUAL TOPICS.

DON'T EMBARRASS YOURSELF TO MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT MASSAGE BLABLABLABLA

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶
Music is redemption. I like Different types of music. Very diverse. Tibetan, classic, Arabic,…….it depends on my mood. When I travel to a new place, I always try to understand it more through some local music, and collect it.

I’ll be very glad to share my music list and curious to know what’s your favorite genre, it will be great to enjoy music together.

📕
I always like geography and philosophy , never change. I used to learn English and American literature in uni, during when I read some English books. I like Walden by Thoreau(which enlightened me to pursue a simple life), tragedies by Thomas Hardy. Recently, I’m trying to read more biography and historical books. Wish to live wiser.
