Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Still new on being a guest or a host. But, my experiences with couchsurfers were awesome, and that makes me wanna have more.. So, let's seeeee ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Going to Santa Cruz with several CSers via the group of San Francisco Bay. It was sooo nice and it makes me start to feel positive about this adventure of knowing new people on CS. Lived with a lovely couple in Bay Area for four nights and enjoyed being a part of their life!! Took some international visitors to see my hometown, Kaohsiung as well. All the above are awesome! I miss these people and still contacting with them at times !!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am majoring in language teaching, so language exchange is fun to me. My languages are, Mandarin, Taiwanese, and English.
I'm a bassist in a band. I can teach people some basic skills of guitar, piano, and bass(but it's not really fun if you're just playing alone!) I listen to quite an amount of Taiwan indie rock. If you wanna get some recommendation of it, I would love to share a LOT with you! (Be careful i have issue with oversharing) LOVE foods! I would love to cook some local Taiwanese food to share with everyone if possible!

Interested in knowing different kinds of indie music from different countries. Exotic-foods are attractive to me as well. Also wanna know how to live locally. In a word, culture, culture, and culture!!

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, China, Indonesia, South Korea, United States
