===Generally I'll spend the weekend in Shanghai, so if you arrive during the weekend I might not be able to host you.===
===my place is one hour from the Suzhou Railway Station in the new district, there is literally NOTHING to do here except talking to me and my cat, I apologize in advance===

Story of my life:
Born in a small village, spent my childhood in the playground, mountains and rivers.
Moved to a small city at 7.
Went to Beijing for university at 16.
Spent one semester in Stockholm at 19.
Went to France(Lille) & Poland(Krakow) for master.
Worked and lived in Shanghai for three years.
Now relocated to Suzhou.

SO:
I am never a big city girl, I am a big fan of the nature, especially the mountains because I grew up with them. But now I'm trying to integrate to life in a big city like Shanghai or to life in a quiet suburb as Suzhou New District.

I am afraid that I am not the sweetest girl in the world since I survive with my self-mocking spirit. But after all, I am a friendly and open minded person who enjoys a good company over a chilled bottle of beer (especially by the riverside in the evening, that's the dream :D

I have lived abroad for two and a half years now, so I am quite a global citizen. But deep inside, I am still a Chinese and I am proud of it :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started CS in 2009 and fell in love with it instantly. It is such a beautiful connection between people from different parts of world where we share cultures and kindness to complete strangers, who might actually become close friends sooner than you even realize.

I surfed a lot during my stay in Europe and hosted several surfers in 2015. Now my couch is available again since I move to a flat big enough and life could be a bit boring without companies in SND.
