About Me

[UPDATED!!]
Because I have mistaken the date of host request once(so shame on me), even I still hosted my gentle guests that time but still made them unnecessarily panic, so here comes up my solution:
After confirming request, I will send you my instant messaging account or phone number. Please send me a short text(even a Hi) let me know we start to keep in touch. Thank you very much for tolerating my careless.

[ABOUT ME]
* I am on BeWelcome as well(https://www.bewelcome.org/members/BAINBU)

* * Plan a day that makes you jump out of bed in morning. If I start to feel boring, I read, travel and meet people. All of this push me to use CouchSurfing.

* I am shy but an easygoing person, I might not speak a lot when the first we met but I hope to get connection with people. It is not a problem for me to get alone with all type of people. I am also curious. I share my experiences and listen. I enjoy discover difference between people, the way to think, the attitude for life...etc.

* I prefer the natural place, landscape and outdoor activies when I travel. I enjoy to walk in the city but the nature is better. It makes me relax. For me, the plan always come up with changes, so I change my plan for the whole new world.

----------------------------------
[CURRENT MISSION]
* To host as much as I can! You are welcome to my house!

----------------------------------
[WISH LIST]
* Backpacking Jude Mountain the highest mountain in Taiwan.
* Teach in Cambodia where one of my close friend come from. I can teach Chinese and programming.
* Diving: I just tried this in Okinawa, and now I want to get diving certification(maybe PADI) and join a diving club.
* Horse Riding: Luckily, I have a chance to try this as a volunteer of The Therapeutic Riding Centre of Taiwan(台灣馬術治療中心). So I upgrade my wish to Horse Riding in Xinjiang(新疆)
...the list is keeping update

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I love the idea "Couchsurfing". For me, meeting people and chatting is more interesting then just visit the city during a trip! There are several wonderful and impressive experience from couchsurfing.

I cannot stop to finish it when I thought I just want to look for a few pages. It introduces some philosophy by a mystery, simple story.

I listen to all kind of music. Ambient, Anime, Blues Classical, Country, Jazz, Rhythmic, Soul, Slow Rock..., I think I should raise a Spotify list for introducing all of that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

[1]
An amazing place in Taiwan, with clear and blue water of upstream of 砂卡噹brook. Because of the original mineral, the water shows the color azure( blue close to the color of sky) and turquoise(a green).

It's in Taroko Gorge in Hualien, I think land in Hualien will catch people, when I come home from Hualien, I want back to there again and again.

You can use the key words "砂卡噹步道" to finds more pictures.

Participated a traditional fishing from north east coast of Taiwan by boat: 蹦火仔, you can check this: http://englishnews.ftv.com.tw/read.aspx?sno=5EA44FACB51C592E1416E13DD8F36842

The target fish which is attracted by fire light plus it jumps over the surface of ocean, so the view is spectacular if you go there in the right season, the fish group will be so huge.

[3]
Swim cross Sun Moon Lake which is largest lake in Taiwan. I recommend this activity because we only need to swim 3300 km and enjoy the view in the water.
