Hey there! Feel free to drop me a line if you're planning on staying in Caochangdi Area. I prefer to host experienced surfers, as I don't actually have time to show my guests around.
But before that, please take a look at My Home before you send me a couch request.
I don't respond to brief messages, I appreciate if you take the time and effort to tell me who I'm hosting.

I have a limited vpn access so I can't promise I'm responsive at all times, but effective communications save our time and energy at both ends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friends dragged me into a CS meet and greet years ago. I haven't travelled outside the country back then, what I learnt from that night inspired me to travel and host fellow surfers.

I did host my visiting friends off of CS for quite some time when they came to visit Caochangdi, so I guess I'm an experienced host now:)

Over the past five years, I have been crowned "Local Ambassador of Beijing" and "Human Timeout Beijing" half jokingly by some of my friends. So I think I do have a certain amount of knowledge in what Beijing has to offer.

Interests

If you're ever in Beijing, I know all the hidden gems in the hutongs and great hiking places around the city, not the touristy kind.

I'm always open for trying out new things. Teach me if you can!
