HELLO.
I'm Chynna. Pronounced China. Like the country. Like the wrestler.

I love feta cheese. I put on weight in Greece just by eating the salads.

***FEMALE COUCHSURFERS READ THIS***
Do not stay with male hosts. Not even if they have good reviews. There are a horrifying number of women on this site that have been assaulted and raped by male hosts. The majority do not report it as they are scared that their positive rating will be affected. Fuck that. Please, if you cannot find a female host to stay with book a hostel or Airbnb instead. IT IS NOT WORTH THE RISK.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great way to meet people, share stories and have a good time! Hosting has given me the opportunity to share what I love most about my city with new and exciting people, but it's also opened my eyes to what else is out there. It's great to hear about what it's actually like to travel in other countries instead of having to read hundreds of internet blogs about them instead :)

I get a lot of emails from people that essentially want a hotel room free of charge. Sorry, but that's not me - AirBnb is what you're looking for. Please send me a little information about yourself and why you are visiting London. I only respond to formal requests with exact dates on them too! I get around 20/30 requests every day so private messages are read and then forgotten :(

If you are going to a conference/starting a new job/looking for a job and are just looking for a place to stay then please look for another host more suited to your needs.

***I host for 1-3 days***

If you've made it this far, thank you for taking the time to actually read this profile. I get a lot of demanding and rude messages that sometimes make me lose faith in the whole concept of couchsurfing. Please include the word 'beans' in your message so I know you're one of the good ones haha

Music, Movies, and Books

Not a massive movie fan but I've got time for TV: 30 Rock, Parks & Recreation, Dexter, Community, House of Cards, NURSE JACKIE (aka the greatest series of all time)

I bought myself a Kindle a while back and have been using it more for education than leisurely reading. Just finished a book on the Mexican drug war and moving on to the history of LSD.
