CURRENT MISSION

Making my way back to the Pacific North West

ABOUT ME

Im a Taiwanese/Oregonian - culturally confused and/or sometimes enlightened political science student. Have been on my year abroad in China for about 11 months now.
Currently traveling around Thailand and Taiwan right now, will return to Oregon in the Fall.

I could probably tell you a few things about biogas tanks and the none-existence of Chinese environmental awareness. That's only if your interested though!

PHILOSOPHY

"The core of man's spirit comes from new experiences"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I just surf or meet surfers. Upon my return to Eugene, Oregon I will most definitely start hosting!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I witnessed and participated CS firsthand through a friend while living in China. Been meeting great people while traveling through China and SE Asia through CS ever since then. Look froward to doing some more surfing while I'm traveling, and host once I'm back in Oregon!

Interests

I am always down for discussions on politics, history, and anything and everything really. Always interested in permaculture, being in harmony with nature, photography (been traveling with my Pentax K1000), sustainable farming, tasting new (all) cuisine, reading, films, bike riding, rock climbing, getting down to all dem funky tunes, drinking too much coffee and getting beers! oh and eating!
