About the host

Hosted by haiying shi

I am Haiying, for my husband Peter and me,
Sharing our house with you is the most pleasant way to feel committed.
all the feedback from the global guests motivates us to carry on doing so.
Sharing is an amazing lifestyle!
We are living in York Bay, totally surrounded by the pure beauty of nature. Walking in the bush, listening to the birds singing and swimming in the sea, is the best way to obtain more energy after work every day.

Keep my passion for interior design, particularly enjoy making the small space more functional.
Keep Exploring all the diversities of charm during my global travelling, also seeking for the commons in all galleries, museums and the streets corners, it is the joy.

The more joy able thing is to meet the lovely people like you, looking forward to meeting you.
