Hello I'm Chao-Hsuan (Debby) from Taiwan, during week days I work as international sales in electric industry, while on weekends I'm a volunteered tour guide of Taipei Free Walking Tour, sharing local stories for travelers from all over the world.

I ever stayed in Spain for a year as an exchange student, during the period I traveled around Europe and only stayed at hostel, Airbnb and Couchsurfing, making new friends, learning different culture, and share my life experience and tell local story about Taiwan.

I'm interested in acoustic music, movie and literature, also a big foodie who loves to try local cuisines, every time when I travel, cultural area and local market are always on my must-go list, would love to explore more related private destination by local people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Learning from locals while traveling is the best way to recognize a city, through CS, travelers can recognize a city deeply, locals can meet people from all over the world while staying at home, two people from far away can incredibly be close, exchanging lots of thoughts, inspiring new ideas that we might never thought about before, which let a simple travel become more surprising and incredible.
