I am fun, compassionate, occasionally sarcastic.

I used to travel a lot, but now settled down to co-raise a mini human being and a carnivore (a cat in her essence) with my partner.

Oh I live in Xi’an. My apartment is located in the southern suburb of the city, on average 1 hour by subway from most of the tourist sites (excluding Terra Cotta Warriors which is 3-4 hours away).

For travelers who plan to pop in and out of the city, I’d recommend hotels and hostels at downtown.

What I expect from guests
I enjoy hosting guests who are curious about people and places, not just passing through. I appreciate thoughtful communication before requesting to stay, basic independence during the visit, and a genuine interest in cultural exchange.

I value mutual respect, open conversations, and small shared moments—whether that’s talking over tea, cooking together, or exchanging perspectives.

If you see Couchsurfing as a community built on connection rather than free accommodation, we’ll likely be a great match.

I got a spare bedroom with a pullout bed good for two. And most of time I can only host during weekends.
