About Me

*Please make couchsurfing a female friendly place, this is not a platform to find one-night-stands. Please do not take advantage of travelers who actually want a local experience and make life-long friends through this platform*

Anyway, I am currently working and living in Canada on an IEC visa! I can be described as quirky and goofy, but really I just love to be myself and spread happiness to everyone around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals and see the city from their perspective.

Interests

When I was in Taiwan, I had the hobby of making DIYs--- from sewing to wool felting to découpage. Would hope to learn more about the making of p/leather bags and glass.
I love badminton and dancing, hopefully I can learn Krav Maga one day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkeling in Croatia - and managed to swim with jellyfish, and of course, freaking out on the spot and escape the waters only to realize that they weren't poisonous. Lol
River tracing in Hualien - got a trophy bruise for jumping without inspecting the waters. On the bright side, I overcame my fear of heights when I jumped off a two-story rock to make a water bomb!
Kayaking in the windy Este lake - it was my first time kayaking without any guidance or lessons, managed not to get flipped over in the lake by the strong winds!
Cycling over 50km for 9hours - and I died that night into a dreamless deep sleep, 'nuff said.
