Please note that I will be out of town and thus will not be able to host from September 20-27th.

ABOUT ME

2023:
After taking a five-year break on CS, I've moved up to Scotland, I'm finally back but unfortunately won't be able to host you atm but happy to meet up.

2017:

Hey I just moved to Oxford. Drop me a message if you are travelling to Oxford, I might be able to host you xD

P.S.
1) Respect is mutual and couchsurfing is not a hostel- I will not reply to your requests if you do not even write my name on the request which might also indicate that you didn't read my profile before writing to me;
2) Please note that the maximum stay is 2 nights;
3) Preferably no last minute request.

2015:

I'm Mengyao and now I'm a grad student at UPenn. Having been joining couchsurfing for over 1.5 years, I deeply appreciate the idea of CS and would like to meet more people from all around the world ;)

Below are the words I wrote last year, I was in Poland doing my exchange program at that time and I travelled a lot (couchsurfed a lot as well xD) during my stay. Those days have taught me two things: 1) CS is probably the best way to connect me with the locals and live as a local (even just for a few days); 2) languages are beautiful and enable me to explore a country's beauty in a unique way.

Hope you guys enjoy your adventure and always make it the best.
