Guys, I won't use this account to host surfers anymore. For hosting requests in Shenzhen, please reach out by "https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/zoey-jin-1". I will only answer there.

For any urgent requests, feel free to add me on WeChat by searching "yiyiya11-16" for a quick response. Normally host on weekends and no more than 3 nights. You can stay longer if I agree with your extension.

My group:
- Neat, clean, and respectful
- Openminded and easygoing
- Good people, not a freeloader
- Always bring laughter and stories

About me:
- a dog person 🐕 adopted a mix dog named 16
- like smiling and bold in moves
- eager in learning and trying new things
- always appreciate for what I get 🙏
- a big fan in volunteering

If I am surfing: I don’t mind staying with you in a way like in [Workaway] or [AIESEC Life]. Actually I’d prefer this more if I can exchange my intellectual or labor for the free accommodation and food with you. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you when you receive my request. I’ll be thrilled. Just for the record, I have done fencing, farming, babysitting, pet-sitting, window painting, fruits picking and so on. 😉

If I am hosting: I am hosting travelers here just because I want to help them to any extent. So if you are seeking for something else, look somewhere else. I met a lot of nice and kind people during my traveling. These people taught me how to give and take.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Me and my friend Joanna made a decision together to travel the countries as many as possible during our gap year from Aug 2023 to Jun 2024. We were both in-between of work so we’d like to do this within a tight budget. Therefore, here we are with “Couchsurfing”. This is the very first time that we get to know about this platform. The theme of this application matches ours and we want to see what it will lead us to.

We have been helped by so many kind people, they are warm and generous to us during our visiting or surfing. Their selfless support not only helped us overcome challenges but also inspired us to pay it forward. I want to extend the same compassion to fellow travelers in need.
