Qiong

This young lady came and stayed with us through couchsurfing, she has such a lovely uplifting personality. I didn't get a photo that did justice to her but I like the emphasis on her laughter lines here. (edit for the artist challenge thinking about newspaper boy.)
don't really like this but oh well.....

Yes, I know of couch surfing, my sister and her girlfriend did this in Europe (France, Italy). What a lovely face, and great processing.

@photohoot it is fun usually, the odd person is a pain, we live in a place where tourists have to go past, so we get a lot of requests, where you live they may not be so plentiful, but you could always travel with it yourself !! https://www.couchsurfing.org/n/how-it-works

Love her smile - that is so natural and Qiong is a lovely name, if it is the word I thought.

@yaorenliu she taught me how to pronounce it properly, Chinese is so musical

What a happy soul she is! I love the whole concept and reality of the couch-surfing movement. Humanity at its best! ;-)
