I'm a linguistics PhD student living in Florida, originally from China. I've mainly used Warmshowers (user name Demi1211) before this and have hosted/been hosted many times. I met many many great cyclists along the way! I bike toured/solo traveled many places.

Note (as we’re getting a lot of requests):

One day or same day requests are accepted, but please make sure you confirm the stay by 12pm on the day of your visit, as we need time to prepare the room and plan our time. Offer will be cancelled if failed to do so.

We have a German Shepherd dog, who doesn’t bite but won’t stop barking at new faces. we’re working on training her, but please make sure you’re aware of this.

I’m here to share travel and cultural experiences, not for dating — this isn’t Tinder.

Usually, the maximum days we can host is 3.

Thank you for taking time to read our notes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although Warmshowers works well , it's intended for cyclists. So whenever I decided to not fly with my bike, I use Couchsurfing.
