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.

Male users with no reviews/ reviews from only females is a red flag

I only host travelers and do not provide temporary “transition period” accommodation for locals

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.
