// A MISSION BEFORE TURING 30 //
- See broader, Work much crazier in different roles meaningfully & Be fluent in 5 languages.

// KAOHSIUNG+TAIPEI+COPENHAGEN //
- I am a native of Kaohsiung, and so far have studied my bachelor and master degree in my second hometown, Taipei, for 6 years.
- Now I stay in Copenhagen for a 1-semester exchange program till February 2016.

// LAW+INT'L BUSINESS //
- As a girl who has a cross-border background in law and int'l business, I like to see things in different angles and explore deeper to the core, trying to have more dialogs for one issue.
- Apart from this, I have multiple working experiences during my stay in Taipei, like being a bartender in a café, an employee in a hostel, a marketing research assistant in the appliance industry and in a legal consulting organization.

// PHILOSOPHY //
- Everything in your life is relative, so the only thing you need to discover is the connection between them.
- There are tracts in my life that are bare and silent. They are the open spaces where my busy days had their light and air ♪♪

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

// In EUROPE //

2015 is somehow a gap year in my busy life and I will stay in Europe till February 2016. To know better of this land and myself, I am looking for more adventures and sharing experience with people, culture and nature, so CS is undoubtedly a liberal and creative way to fulfill my promise to myself.

// In TAIWAN //
During my stay in Europe so far, I have refreshed so many perspectives about Europe and Africa when sharing stories with friends. However, I also recognize that there are so many gaps between Western and Eastern people, especially everything of my HOMETOWN, Taiwan. As a result, I always welcome and love to share different aspects in this little island, because everyone deserves to explore a new world if you really want to. Contact me if you have interest in. :)

Interests

// DANCE (Reggae, Jazz, Hiphop) //
I started to dance when I was 17. Though my life is always busy, I love to control my body moving more precisely with different styles. For my first year learning Hiphop and Reggae, I have auditioned as a dancer among 80+ candidates for a Hiphop & Reggae performance of a famous Taiwanese dancing studio.
(Here is the link of the performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSinh5jY3LA&feature=youtu.be)
And now I am working for more powerful and flexible body-control.

// COOKING & FINDING GOOD DINING EXPERIENCE //
I love to cook Taiwanese food and also a veg lover. Also, I am always exploring perfect dining experience everywhere, and trying to change different roles, which means as not only a consumer but also a used-to be bartender, to collect these tasting memories. I have a secret list in Taipei based on 6-year stay, including lovely cafés, super recommended restaurants and of course - Taiwanese special - night markets. Now I expand my map in Europe.

// PHOTOGRAPHING //
I am really a freshman in this field, but to me photographing is a way to have a crazy party with myself, which means I can really have fun in this solo activity. I record my life through photographs, and find opposite angles to looking things in detail. (Now it's usually shared on my instagram: @alice10_29 ) Also, I would definitely love to share relevant skills and experience with someone, so feel free to contact me if you want to discover more about the world together. :)
