Hi!

This is Cheryl from Beijing, China. I am currently working living in the Capital city with my cats. Beijing is a great city with many things to see and experience - I am happy to have a meet up and take you around in the old/center city. I can also offer you some tips about travelling in Shanghai, as I am originally from there.

My apartment is between the 5th and 6th ring - quite far away from the city center but very close to the main airport. I am a cat person and live with 2 cats so if you are travelling with felines you are more than welcome here.

Hope you are having/ have had a great journey wherever in the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started CS when I was doing exchange student program in UK, when I hosted some friends from China and Japan. It's fun to meet up travelers from the world.
