CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
I was born in Kaohsiung in 1997.
I'm a shy boy and afraid to fail.
BUT I WANT TO CHANGE !!
That's the reason why I travel.

JAPAN AND ME
I love Japanese food. (SUSHI and RAAAAMEN!!!)
From fresh seafood to unique regional food, Japanese food is just as great as the country itself.
Also I love to read manga(comics) and watched their TV show and anime(cartoons).
SO I started to learn Japanese in 2015 in Taiwan and have passed the N1 exam last year.
I lived in OSAKA and TOKYO for about a year.(2018)
And I am studying global communication in Doshisha University in KYOTO .(2019-)
I've been to JAPAN a lot of times.
SO IF YOU LOVE JAPAN JUST LIKE I DO or YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT JAPAN!!!
I will be the best choice to chat with~~~~

ABOUT TRAVEL
I don’t get to travel very often .(1~2 a year)
When I can get away, I jump at the opportunity.
Through the trip I can FREE MYSELF from the FEAR of failing or being embarrassed.
I'll keep challenge myself , keep growing and find my Next Edge.!!!! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason why I am on Couchsurfing is because I want to meet people from all over the world.
My FAMILY has already hosted several CSers, so I know how it works.
As it is just because of it, I know it is an awesomely great opportunity to meet locals and travelers.
I want to introduce Taiwan to more people, and get to know more cultures through meeting others.
That is why I am on Couchsurfing nowwww :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climb Mt.Fuji
Vomiting after drinking a small bottle of beer and having a real bad hangover ..... loool
Finding my host without a detailed address and internet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I I could teach you some Japanese or Chinese and the culture.
I could share many different interesting little stories that I collected along my way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think what makes CS special is that it is a platform for people throughout the world to share cultures and values. Therefore, I can share Taiwanese culture to you. Or I can even teach you some basic greeting Chinese if you are interested in learning it :)
I would be very happy to make people know more about Taiwan. AND I enjoy singing, so maybe I can sing some Chinese songs to the hosts!!!
