Hello! This is Bryant from Taiwan visiting places in the world and starting a new page of my life to seek for inspirations and ideas for future lifestyle.

In the past year, I have done traveling across the US and working holiday in Australia. Currently, I am blogging as Globetrotter Bryant and traveling in Europe. See more: http://globetrotterbryant.com/lets-go/

An energetic and outgoing city boy who worked at tech industry loves exploring the world for interesting ideas and stuffs and camping and hiking in the wild. I am really excited to stay open-minded and embrace the world in order to reshape myself.

Where I grew up, Taiwan, still uses Traditional Chinese as official languages and adheres the Confucian paradigm from the ancient China. Here comes more insights of Taiwan:

I am more than happy to share the knowledge of the culture and language in the way you can understand with Pinyi and the experience of the trips I have done. In additionally, I would also like to cook some Taiwanese/Chinese meal for you to enjoy if you are willing to buy the ingredients.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting and building up a long relationship with people. Staying at a new friend's place can help us to understand how each other live their own lives in a decent quality time which means I love spending time with you to have conversations of all the topics you are interested in. In the future, I would also like to host you and share for the further cultural insights once you have chance to visit Taiwan or somewhere else.

Interests

I am curious toward many things, even the things I do not know. Through picking up the curiosity, wish all the interests create the more and more exclusive stories for me to remember and share. Show me and surprise me, PLEASE!

Music, Movies, and Books

Greatest day, Take that, and American Authors. Country music is my favorite genre.
The appreciation of Classic, Jazz and Rock n roll is being cultivated.

Remember the Titans, Coach Carter and Draft day enrich the mindset with sport-oriented philosophy and imagination, for me, they are fantasy.

Grey's Anatomy, Agents of Shield, Prison Break, Person of Interest and House of Cards are the TV dramas I have been following so far.

Home Sweet Anywhere: How We Sold Our House, Created a New Life, and Saw the World, the enlightenment for me to quit the usual life and become a traveler.
