Hi guys,

My name is Iris and I'm from China. I came to the UK for my masters in 2010 and found a job after graduation. From 2016, I started my weekend trips in Europe. So far I’ve been to 37 countries in Europe.

I like travelling and meeting new people. I started staying with hosts since 2016. Spending time with them and sometimes exploring the cities together have become the best part of my trips. I highly appreciate all the kind help and support I received from my hosts and local CSers.

Therefore, as a return, I started hosting female CSers few years ago as an encouragement to girls to explore the world (or at least in London).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Explore the world, meeting new people and learning new things.
