About Me

Looking for more different possibilities of life, after a 8 months traveling and study in the UK and Europe.
I've travelled to many of European countries since my first time to visit Spain and met a lots of awesome people during every trip. Will keep going to travel for sure.

After a temporary job in SF, USA a month, a year long stay in Canada and half year stay in Mexico. I found out the world is still waiting for me to do more adventures. I would love to stay in somewhere longer time and get into the culture and lifestyle.

I want to meet more people from everywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new friends, meet more people like me who love traveling in different ways. Even I don’t get a chance to host due to I live with the family but I still join CS meeting sometimes and show around my city to travelers or new comers in Taiwan.

Interests

Explore a new city in a casual way, like to take a walk between small alley or streets, always can find surprises.
Love languages, I used to join language exchange group in my city and find the event if I have enough time to join when I’m traveling.
I like walking or hiking, sometimes cycling, depends on which way is the best to explore the place.
Also I enjoy food and wine, always check the supermarkets when I visit a new place.

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything from pop to classical.
I like TV series than books, especially historical or crime series, all kind of good stories.
I like action movie or comedy movie, depends on the cast and the trailer. ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The craziest experience will be the white water rafting in Sabah, Malaysia, I might not able to do that again.
But my second time rafting experience in Canada was better, and the guide made us to jump from the cliff, i was terrifying. I guess I just not good at adventurous sports but I still willing to give it a try.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn and share on cooking skills and exchange languages, also I’m a Mandarin teacher.

What I Can Share with Hosts

People always say that I was everywhere, since I ever lived in Taiwan, England, Canada and Mexico, so, I definitely have many stories of traveling and also of my country, I might be too talkative sometimes.
I can share my language, culture or ever my food if you love to cook.
