I'm Winnie ，I come from Shanghai, China.— new to Couchsurfing, but I’m committed to being a respectful, reliable guest and friend.

About Me

I spent 15 years building my career in Shanghai:
10 years building a cosmetics brand from the ground up, and another 5 years running an MCN agency focused on influencer marketing.
My entrepreneurial journey has seen both great successes and difficult failures — these are my life lessons, not my status.

Now I’m on a round-the-world trip to reset my life and embrace a simple, peaceful lifestyle.
I currently take on small, part-time remote work: managing social media for Chinese brands and individuals. This light work allows me to travel slowly and mindfully.

As a Taurus & ISTJ, I’m quiet, structured, and deeply value personal space and calm.
I’m extremely clean and hygiene-conscious, so your place will always be kept tidy.
I need alone time to recharge — if I sometimes keep to myself, it’s not rudeness; it’s just self-care.

Why I'm Here

I’m NOT here for free accommodation, romance, dating, or any physical relationship.
This trip is my “zero-dollar friendship” experiment: to connect with people genuinely, through ideas and life exchange, with no money or agenda involved.

What I’m looking for:

• Real cultural exchange and authentic local life

• Warm, deep conversations and comfortable silences

• To practice and improve my English — I’m actively learning and eager to speak!

• Kind, respectful people who value sincerity and real connection

What I Can Share

🍜 Cooking: I’m very good at making all kinds of Chinese home dishes. I’m also skilled at baking cakes, bread, pastries, desserts and more.
📖 Life stories: 15 years of entrepreneurship, with successes and failures. I love sharing lessons and listening without judgment.
🌊 Outdoor & fitness: I love diving, surfing, hiking, cycling, and all outdoor activities.
🗣️ Language exchange: I’m learning English and eager to practice. If you’d like to learn Chinese, I’m happy to help you too!
🤝 Respect: I follow house rules strictly, clean up after myself, and fully respect your privacy and space.

My Strict Boundaries (Please Respect)

1. Platonic friendship only: I am here only for friends. If you have any intentions beyond friendship, or if you lack respect for women, please pass me by.

2. No unwanted physical contact: I dislike any unsolicited physical contact (hugs, touches, etc.). Please respect my personal space.

3. No business or work requests: I’m happy to share life stories, but I’m not here for work, clients, or commercial deals. This trip is about connection, not business.

Current Status

I’m on a round-the-world journey. I cannot host right now, but when I return to Shanghai, my sofa is open for you.
I’d love to meet for a coffee or a walk first.

If you’re looking for a sincere, quiet, respectful travel friend — let’s connect. 🌿

我是 Winnie — 刚加入沙发客，我会努力做一个有礼貌、靠谱、值得信任的客人和朋友。

关于我

我来自上海，独自打拼了15年：
10年自创化妆品品牌，5年运营MCN机构。
我的创业之路有过高光，也经历过低谷——这些是我的人生阅历，不是我的标签。

现在我正在环球旅行、重启人生，选择过简单、安静、自在的生活。
我目前做少量轻量远程工作，为中国的品牌和个人运营社交媒体，这份灵活的工作让我可以慢下来、深度旅行。

我是金牛座 + ISTJ：性格安静、有秩序，非常看重个人空间与平静。
我极度爱干净、注重卫生，一定会保持你的住处整洁。
我需要独处来恢复能量——如果我偶尔想自己待着，不是不礼貌，只是在照顾自己。

我为什么来这里

我不是为了免费住宿，不谈恋爱、不约、不发展任何亲密关系。
这场旅行是我的「零元友谊」实验：我想真诚地与人连接，进行思想与人生的交流，无关金钱，无关目的。

我想要的是：

• 真实的文化交流，体验地道的本地生活

• 温暖走心的聊天，和不用说话也舒服的沉默

• 练习并提升我的英文，我正在认真学习，非常渴望交流！

• 善良、懂得尊重、重视真诚与深度连接的人

我可以分享

🍜 厨艺：我很擅长做中国的各种家常菜，也很擅长烘焙，做蛋糕、面包、点心、甜品之类的。
📖 人生阅历：15年创业，有成功有失败，乐于分享经验，也愿意安静倾听。
🌊 户外与运动：热爱潜水、冲浪、徒步、骑行等所有户外运动。
🗣️ 语言交换：我正在学习英语，很想多练习；如果你想学习中文，我也非常乐意帮助你。
🤝 尊重：严格遵守屋主规则，爱干净、不添麻烦，完全尊重你的隐私与空间。

我的底线（请务必尊重）

1. 仅限纯友谊：我来这里只为交朋友。如果你有超越朋友的想法，或是不尊重女性的屋主，请直接绕行。

2. 拒绝任何未经允许的肢体接触：我非常不喜欢突如其来的肢体接触（拥抱、触碰等），请尊重我的个人空间。

3. 不谈工作与商业：我可以分享人生故事，但不接工作、不找客户、不做任何商业交易。这场旅行只为连接，不为利益。

目前状态

我正在环球旅行，现阶段无法接待他人。等我回到上海，我的沙发会为你开放。
我很愿意先一起喝咖啡、散步认识一下。

如果你想要一个真诚、安静、懂得尊重的旅行朋友——我们认识一下吧。🌿
