About Me

" To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer,to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life. " From Movie: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

This quote is one of my favorite and also the spirit guiding me in my daily lives. When I have free time, I'd like to travel around my country- Taiwan. It's a lovely island country located in the East Asia. The multicultural environment brings me an open-mind thinking and the curiosity to understand other culture.

I had been to Hong Kong, Sichuan, north Australia, part of Germany and Poland. In my journey, I'm always interesting in local history and culture. Not just go to somewhere very famous or popular but somewhere can represent the daily lives of locals; this is my principle to explore a new place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is a great opportunity to meet different kinds of people. To experience and understand their culture are always my purpose of traveling. Couchsurfing is one way to meet the local host and have chance to learn with them. Therefore, I would like to try couchsurfing as my part of journeys.

Interests

I am an amateur photographer having some experience of making commercial videos and journalist photos. This habit allows me to watch various types of movies and visual works. It's always interesting to share my pictures and exchange the ideas of movies, which will be a delightful experience.
