ABOUT ME

Hello my name is Wei-Cheng.

Born and raised in an island country, Taiwan, I think we are less aware of reaching out and seeing the world. I major in diplomacy and luckily it leads me to a new level of view, to know this world better. Since I was a bit younger, I started traveling and participating several programs in the US. Since that, I love meeting people.

I spent most of my free time traveling or doing some small adventures; since doing this, I've been both amazed at the diversity and power of humanity. I always believe that the more you see, the less you know. The previous experiences make me feel a bit foreign in Taiwan but I am still very glad to see this world as much as I could.

What really changed me into who I am today would be--I spent my last school year in Vaxjo (Sweden) for exchange for nearly an year and visited many European countries during the year, and some of those trips were through couch-surfing, of course ;) School is fine, but traveling and the people I met on the way always show me more.

As any of my friends will tell you, I am first timid but actually quite crazy (well, not like crazy crazy but in a acceptable way:P). I'm energetic, open-minded, friendly, and full of curiosity. ah and maybe a bit talkative.

Have been warm-welcomed by all the hosts I met in Europe, now I am ready to welcome my own guests :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people, participated two CS meetings so far, one in London and another in Gent. I love meeting different people from all over the world cause there are always something I can learn something from, no matter traveling tips, cultures, languages, or life experiences. also helping people is always nice!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

sometimes I host friends and surfers, but it depends on if I was traveling at that moment or not.

As for surfing, I started it this March(2012), traveling around Belgium, Luxembourg, and Netherlands for about two weeks solo in a quite spontaneous way. Another time happened in April with my best friend in Sweden and Denmark. I enjoyed hanging out with my hosts cause that made me feel local and that's the way I expect to explore the cities. So far there's no space to tell you how incredibly amazed I felt when first time I did this. I just love it :)
