Hello/hallo/nihao, YJ is initials of my Chinese name,but you can simply address me by the name of Lola, a twenty something girl originally from the crazy metropolis of Shanghai, China, but living and working in Berlin, Germany now.

Why Lolita la Rolita?

Well, it's a nice story from Colombia, I'll tell you that later :))

Quick facts about me:
- I speak four languages: Shanghainese(yes it's a language), Mandarin, English and German, learned some French and Japanese before but need some serious brushing-up.
- I’m quite a fashionista and hobby photographer and yes we could go out for a photography session if I have time :)
- Generally very open-minded and spontaneous, and would love to take my couchsurfer out for a drink and a laugh!

Hey fellow CSers who want to stay at mine:
don’t even bother to send me a request if you don’t have the patience to read through my profile, I don’t have the time for non-genuine people who just want a free place to crash.

So please write in your request, why are you visiting Berlin and why you want to stay with me. and please refer to my neatly-organized and super-detailed "home" description and only send me a request when you agree to the house rules.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that most of the people in the world, regardless of their color, race, religion, are essentially good. That's why I always prefer to stay at a local's place instead of checking in at expensive fancy hotels.

I enjoyed many awesome couchsurfing experience before and I would love to give back to the community by hosting in the great city of Berlin! I prefer to host girls and I think it’s really nice since there are many solo female travelers who might need a hand on their way :)
