**I AM STILL IN THE US，pls do not text me when you are looking for a host in Chongqing RIGHT NOW. Appreciate!**

Hi guys! I'm Yanxi, from Chongqing, China. Ciel （pronounce as “SEAL” , and not Ceil, pls）is my English name as everyone feels that Chinese is the hardest language in the world!! Everyone except Chinese of course:)) Now I'm an Au Pair in Arlington, VA. ( I definitely have a lot of stories to share!!) Sometimes I have days off so that I can travel around, which is so wonderful!

I'm very easygoing and like to have fun with friends! Also I like cool stuff, totally down to earth!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm very new here. I love road trips, love to make friends who are in common with me. And to know more about other people's lifestyles, to share experience .. It's perfect, isn't it?

* PLEASE don’t message me if you don’t have a good profile (which means there’s not any photo of yourself, no references or no details about your home)
