Hi, I'm a 22-year-old medical student from Taipei, Taiwan. I'm an outgoing person, so I can usually find topics that we are both interested in when chatting. I have two sisters living in Los Angeles, California, US and my best friend studying in Seattle, Washington. Therefore, I visit them every winter vacation and because of this, I find myself interested in traveling. Besides looking for hotel or hostel, I'm also searching for some ways to experience a more local life style rather than just being a tourist. I think this is the best part for being an adventurous backpacker!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

-I'm interested in classical musics and that's the reason why I play the violin. I also listen to pop music, including Chinese and Western.
-I love animation, especially the works of Ghibli (Hayao Miyazaki)! I also watch some other types of movies, like comedy and action movie.
-I like books discussing different culture, history, crime fiction and thriller.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-The coolest thing is performing Kanon (German) violin duo with my teacher in the passage of Taipei Metro. Performing in front of lots of people passing by is really exciting. Every time people stop their step to listen to my music makes me happy!

Teach, Learn, Share

-I like eating miso ramen, soba, sushi, and drinking sake. If it's possible, I would like to learn to cook some Japanese cuisines.
-I'm also a Buddhist, and I'm good at telling stories about my belief, making the theories of my religion easy to understand!
-Recently I went to Seattle, Washington and visit Pike Market for the 1st Starbucks (WA), the Space Needle for the spectacular view of Seattle (WA), and the University of Washington.
