CURRENT MISSION
Trying to see the world for myself, making my own rules.

ABOUT ME
I'm Belle (pronounced BEL), born in Taiwan but only actually ever lived there for about 6 years of my life. Taiwan is a tiny and amazing little island off the coast of China. If you ever get the chance, you should visit!

Currently studying abroad in Italy and learning Italian. I never thought that I'd get to have this opportunity, but I've lived in 3 continents now and it's so cool.

PHILOSOPHY
Keep moving forward!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet new people wherever I go. I'd also love to return the favor in the future when I get my own place someday.

Interests

Learning and travelling are definitely at the top. I also appreciate great writing and great style, and slowly working my way there. I wish I could cook, so I watch cooking shows to compensate for the lack of skill, same goes for photography. Furniture and grocery shopping brings me joy, and so does puns--I think they're genius. My dream job is to host a travel show, and to be an event planner!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I've sat on a llama. It was awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know a lot, but I can teach you Chinese?
I'd love to learn how to cook a fail-proof 5 course dinner, do a proper headstand, do those 3-second outfit changes, swim properly, or speak Arabic.
I love learning and I loved school, so anything you can teach me is fine by me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Uh, I can help clean up? I like washing dishes and mopping floors, so I can help do that! I can teach you this really good joke I know (but it will involve puns). I can be a good company!
