About Me

I'm a rebel in the modern world, against in sightseeing, pop music, social media, and stuff. The person who have wished to be born in the past. Ironically, I'm doing semiconductor research as a career now, the world is full of absurdness anyway.
But don't worry, I'm very easygoing and like to laugh, interested in all kind of talking topics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First I started Couchsurfing during my exchange student program in Europe. During the time I met a bunch of interesting and super nice people, had lots of experiences that I wouldn't have had without Couchsurfing.
As a return, I hosted tens of surfers when I return to Taiwan for my master degree.
Now I'm traveling again, I'm sure Couchsurfing will continue to amaze me with wonderful people.

Interests

Photography is a general phrase, to specify, I do mostly film photography with street-style and surreal topics. Fan of Magnum photos and some Natgeo.
I'm into all kinds of music except pop. Particularly in rock music such as indie rock, Britpop, postrock. Classical music such as cello, piano, and Chinese Orchestra since I play them.
For sports, I used to play basketball and volleyball but now mostly just swimming. Also started to feel in love with snorkeling, free diving, and scuba diving.
