Hello! I'm Alan...

I'm mixed British/Chinese-Taiwanese and currently own a coffee shop as well as run my NGO (www.delegations.org) which promotes dialogue between university students and civil society within contentious regions.

I'm perpetually traveling and look forward to meet more couch surfers!
