Heyy fellow Couchsurfers,

I’m Renee. Made in Beijing. Live in Toronto. I like drinking, watching sports, travelling solo, painting, learning new things and joking around.

PLEASE READ
Couchsurfing is NOT a free hotel hunting app. I would appreciate it if you read my profile first (especially My Home section) and provide some reasons why I should host you. I receive tons of non-personalized requests every day. Please understand that I will decline it with no explanation if you have no respect and empathy.

- "Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none." --- Shakespeare

- "Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing--and keeping the unknown always beyond you." ---Georgia O'Keeffe

- "We are all alone in this world. It’s not hard to find relationships and friendships but it’s rare to find understanding. If there’s any kind of magic in the world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone. It’s almost impossible but who cares? The answer must be in the attempt. " ---Before Sunrise

- “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind. ” —-Anthony Bourdain

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

- To See the World

- Hosting: Hosting people from all over the world makes me feel like on the road all the time. I enjoy hanging out with travellers, making new friends and seeing the world through others' eyes.

- Travelling: I love travelling solo. CS is a great place to give and receive love, meet like-minded friends and create amazing memories, so one day I can be a badass granny who has tons of stories to tell the young kids. How fascinating it is to meet adventurous souls from all over the world?

- FYI If you are new to CS, I'd suggest to check out the videos by one of our guests, Maria. She’s a full-time traveller and YouTuber. We became such close friends because of CS.
