About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live each day like it is your last day

ABOUT ME

I have a passion to travel around the world and learn more about different cultures. I love reading books in my spare time, hanging out with friends, and want to get a career as either a Humanitarian aid worker or work overseas in another country. I also like to try new things and having a good time.

I like to talk to other people about their experiences and I tend to be shy at first but I am easy to talk to once I communicate with the other person.

I am a easy going person to talk to and enjoy checking out museums, art galleries, and any historical landmarks. I am a huge fan of walking around and enjoy the nightlife. I also love comedy clubs and love to get a good laugh.

***I will now do a working holiday in Australia for a year! Looking forward to it!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short do what you want to do

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I attended this event in New York city and it was more of a meet and greet event.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently experienced couchsurfing in Taichung with two other host and it made me realized how much I loved being around people that showed me around the city. It also gave me insight more into Taiwanese culture and it changed the way I looked into things in general.
