Hi, I’m Angel from Taiwan 🇹🇼. I live for music, travel, words, and connecting with people. I believe that life and people are inherently good, and I strive for relentless optimism.

Couchsurfing has been a wonderful and enriching part of my life for several years now. I think Taiwan is an amazing country—I’m always happy to help others discover its beauty.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m passionate about meeting people and learning about different perspectives and ways of life. Hosting is a fantastic way to do that. Traveling brings me great joy, and it’s always more meaningful to stay with locals who can offer a deeper understanding of the place. I highly value community, especially the ability to share, trust, and build networks that cross language, nationality, and other barriers.

I’m endlessly fascinated by learning to speak languages, both verbal and non-verbal. It will bring a big smile to my face if you can teach me how to count to 10 in a new language! I’m also very keen on learning about various healing modalities, so if you have experience with that, I’d love to learn from you.

I’m looking to connect with a global network of people so that we can contribute to each other's journeys.

I believe that human connection is so imperative to growth and positive change. I really appreciate how couch surfing has helped me to connect with people authentically. I initially stayed with a great guy named Bagolaylay in South Africa, for a few days. That was an eye opening experience, and I have enjoyed becoming part of this alternative traveling community ever since.

Interests

Things I love: pretty much anything related to music, singing, running, the sun, laughing, making others laugh, having fun—especially in normally not-fun places, recycling, meeting new people, dancing, meaningful conversations, playing games, spending time with friends and family, and trying anything once.

You can teach me anything and everything; I love learning.

Music, Movies, and Books

I indulge in a steady diet of all of them, though books most of all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m endlessly fascinated by learning to speak languages, both verbal and non-verbal. It will bring a big smile to my face if you can teach me how to count to 10 in a new language! I’m also very keen on learning about various healing modalities, so if you have experience with that, I’d love to learn from you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to travel and stay with other people, even if it’s just for a quick overnight. While I could easily get a hotel or hostel, I believe that a brief stay with a local is far more valuable. Those few hours of interaction, sharing, discussion, and exchange are experiences I wouldn’t trade for all the five-star hotel rooms in the world.
