Hi guys,

My name is Iris and I'm from China. I moved to Doha with my husband and son in Sep 2024. After lived in the UK over a decade, and travelled extensively in Europe and the Mediterranean countries, I’ll start a new adventure in the Middle East!

Before having my son Tom, I was a very active solo traveller. I absolutely enjoyed spending time with my CS hosts and meeting new people. Those lovely people contribute my memories of travelling. I also highly appreciate all the kind help and support that I received from them. As a return, I started hosting female CSers few years ago when I lived in central London as an encouragement to female solo traveller to explore the city.

After Tom was born in March 2024, my life has been changed (yes much less freedom!) I would still like to host travellers in the future. But at the moment, maybe I can only meet up or give local advices.

Enjoy travelling!
