My name is Liang-Hsuan An, but most of my friends call me Angela. I come from Taiwan and living in Leicester, UK for my another year of working holiday. I'm a extrovert and easy-going person, but sometimes I'd like to keep myself to myself. Now I've been working in a Japanese restaurant for a while. Living in UK is one of my bucket lists and my next plan is being an Aromatherapist.

Totally a cat person, I have two cats in Taiwan, my sister is taking care of them. The dog are adorable as well, but I love cats more.

Sitting at the beach and empty my mind is my best way to relax. I feel small when I'm looking at the ocean, then nothing can really bother you at all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Talking with people who have totally different background and stories is interesting. It arouses my way of thinking, also widen the view on different things. Experiencing new stuffs and knowledge are amazing, that's why I want to meet people through couchsurfing. Being a host would be interesting as well, I would consider to be a host after I go back to Taiwan. :D

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm reading the human history and aromatherapy. It's hard reading books in silence environment, so I usually listening music while reading, like Lyrical, Pop, Love songs, Rap or even Piano Concertos. and movies/series, I prefer suspense, drama, acting and animation. A big fan of Game of the throne and Minions!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Encouraging people study aboard was my job in Taiwan. There was a women who had never lived in another country was encouraged going study aboard by my colleague, I was taking care of her paper works and other services. After that she got a big challenge when she just arrived Ireland. Because of that she was so unconfident, so I'd cheered her up on calls for over 3 weeks at midnight, and it became my things. When the time she finished her 8 months trip and shared her stories with her brilliant smiling. I felt so proud of her, that truly happiness came from heart. It enriched her life and so as mine in mentally.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm self-learning Chinese Calligraphy and Aromatherapy, a beginner at both of areas. My mother tongue is Mandarin, I'd love teaching some Chinese words and sentences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good at cooking, especially making Chinese dumpling, It's 100% handmade even the dumpling skin.
I've just started my Chinese calligraphy, but if you're into it, tell me, I'm willing to teach you a little bit. Don't worry about the tools, I have brush and ink. : )
