About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have fun in uni & try to reach peace in mind.

ABOUT ME

I live in the island where food is abundant. If you are interested in gourmet or my experience or just want to know more about this wonderful island, PLEASE SEND ME A COUCH REQUEST to show you are REALLY CURIOUS about that all. Thanks ;)

I live in Taipei for 20 years. It seems that I knew this city very well, but it's not! Especially food, I always accidentally find out the gorgeous food where I have been there for many times!
Every time I wander in the lanes, I find many miracles happen around me. Often when I get into the park, cats jump next to my seat and meow to me. Enjoy the sunshine, let the breeze blow through my hair. It's the best thing I enjoy : )

I'm an open-minded in the field of things I'm curious about, always desiring to give everything a shot. But sometimes I'm stubborn because I'm the girl sticking to my principles.

I like to go to religious place (churches,temples) whatever the religion because every one of them brings me tranquility. However I don't like to share religious topics. I think it's personal privacy; everyone has different opinion toward one religion.

Also I like to eat! Of course, in Taipei, it's not complete without eating at stands! Rather than gluttonous, I would call me a great taster!

PHILOSOPHY

Hakuna matata!
Just try everything & don't turn it down before you understand it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Now I will surf and just share the surfing experience and have fun. So those who are interested in Taipei and want to have a gourmet tour, just send me a request : )

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have done a big job in 2011. I traveled whole Germany and Austria by Couchsurfing.
It's the most unforgettable experience in my life, since I met so many nice people, having lots of talks and telling them about Taiwan. I felt so good. I started to know the local culture by those nice hosts rather by tour.
I'm so glad I have a chance to be a couch surfer. It's not for saving the money but for meeting the people and expanding my horizon.

Interests

What makes me happy is always music.

Marching Band,a splendid group with music and tremendous graphs that people construct. Each performance is a master piece!

DCI, the most gorgeous games I watch every summer after I join my school's marching band. I think it's beautiful and energetic!

Classical music, especially Chopin and Bach. I like Chopin for his talent and Nocturne; as for Bach, his piousness and 6 Cello Suites

TED, the inspiring online lectures! I do learn from it a lot.

Photography by using digital camera, and take a good picture just as Single Lens Reflex!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

CS of course! Traveling Germany and Austria by it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I grow up in traditional Chinese circumstances, which is great for the way I think and behave. Recently I starts to study in philosophy of ancient thoughts of China, so I think I can discuss with you guys.
Also I like to eat. I know what's the best even it's not quite famous. This is Taipei--always find gourmet in the dark lanes!

I want to learn music more, especially modern. I used to enjoy classical, so I think it's time to try another one.

Countries I’ve Visited
