About me

My name is Sparrow🪶 I’m based in Shanghai and am looking to travel the world as a scholar of the global south. I’m passionate about learning, be it local culture, languages (My first language is English, and I speak Mandarin fluently, still working on Spanish and Arabic!) and cheeky tales from a fellow traveler. I collect world views, and I love a good story!

About me

Hi girlies! ✨ My name is Rasha, I am 23 and I am Moroccan actually. I have been to a lot of places, usually because of my studies: Istanbul of Turkiye, Jakarta of Indonesia, Hong-Kong, and now I am living in Shenzhen, China for a bit of time. I always had security fears, because I always traveled alone and it is hard to find good people everywhere, especially when it comes to accomodation. I saw this app initiative on Instagram and I LOVED it. I hope I meet a lot of wonderful people over here 🥰

About me

Hello, my name is Nora. I come from a city near Hong Kong. I just finished my master's degree in China, so I came to Europe alone for a graduation trip. I am a very outgoing and talkative girl, and I love keep everything to be clean. My first stop is in the United Kingdom, mainly in London; the second stop is Spain, mainly in Barcelona and Madrid; and the third stop is France, mainly in Paris. I am very keen on experiencing the culture of different countries, and I also like to make friends from different countries. I will also be very happy to share my life in China with you, cook chinese food for you, we can talk about anything too. By the way, I love dogs and cats so much. Since I started my graduation trip, I have experienced many things that I have never experienced before. The people I met along the way are very friendly, so I am a very lucky girl, if you want to come to China in the future, I can be your guide, because I have been to many cities in China.I look forward to having more wonderful experiences with you😊.

Chongqing

About me

Hi, I’m Xyla from China. I’m passionate about personal growth through travel. I lived in New Zealand from 2023 to 2025, house-sitting in over 20 homes during those two years — it gave me a glimpse into so many different ways of living. Now I’m based in Chongqing, China, and will probably stay here until April 2026. After that, I’m planning to visit Europe and have been applying for art residencies recently. I used to work as an art teacher for about four years before moving to New Zealand, where I explored hospitality, global retail fashion, and early childhood education. Currently, I’m an operations manager in real estate and also learning UX/UI digital design on the side. Looking for an remote job to travel more freely. I’m a cat lover who’s been into art and fashion for years. I still create occasionally and like to remake items. Also a storyteller who loves sharing and listening to people’s stories. I’ve explored the world in different ways — from snow mountain hikes to RV trips at high altitudes and treks through no man’s land. Open to good conversations and meaningful connections 🌿

Is China safe for women?

China

You can walk around the city even in the midnight, you can find the food you want anytime, police officers also can help you anytime you need them, just call them and describe what’s happening. People are warm hearted to help you too.
