CURRENT MISSION

Meet others that travel, enjoy exploring new places and meeting new people.

ABOUT ME

Grew up in Asia: Taiwan, China, and Japan. I used to travel a lot for work. Up to 40% of my time for travel before the pandemic. I like new experiences and learning as I go. I'm a good host, and a good guest, respectful, tolerant, open and supportive.

PHILOSOPHY

活到老学到老 - Never stop learning!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people in Seattle and Albuquerque from different parts of the world, when possible we explore together, try local food, cook together at my home, exchange travel stories, and learn about each other's lives and cultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosting has been a great experience, I'm looking forward to more surfing!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

"A Fortune-Teller Told Me: Earthbound Travels in the Far East" is one of my favorite books. I enjoy documentaries, especially about travel, nature, and cooking shows. I find music to be a great way to learn about a new culture, and a great way to learn a new language.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Fantastic street performances in Australia, Animistic priests being possessed in Taiwan, tortuous and delightful boat rides down the Yangtze, crane courtship in Hokkaido, shopping for supplies on border bazaars on the Silk Road, meeting old friends by chance in remote areas in the middle of nowhere.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I hope to learn from others. We can cook international cuisine, especially Chinese. I speak English, Chinese and Japanese, and basic Taiwanese and Uighur. Ornithology, Public Health, Secure, safe internet-based communication are my other interests. I like to share family histories, travel experiences and life lessons.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

My travel experience, my cooking skills, my love for learning and teaching, and other things I hope will be of interest. I know a bit about infectious diseases. Not a doctor!
