My favorite sentence is "We’re all traveling through time together everyday of our lives. All we can do is do our best to relish this remarkable ride.” in About Time. I’m looking forward to meet amazing people during the journey ,like the meaning of”一期一会(いちごいちえ)” in Japanese.(once-in-a-lifetime meeting)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I took gap years and came to Tokyo after I graduated from senior high school last year. To findout what I want and who I am, I’ve been traveling a lot and meet new people the past year. The BEST thing of travel is talking with local people, meeting different nationalities that will leave lasting memories. I enjoy exchanging the stories, so it will be great if you can share your travel story or any amazing thing in the world :)

Culture and language exchange are the big reasons for Couchsurfing. I’m particularly welcoming people that would want to make genuine connections and stay in touch. Super happy to put a face on a country new to me. ☺️

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH, SHARE
I love the trains, nature scenes, culture experiences and life in Japan. I can share my solo travel experiences and the culture shock between Japan and my hometown Taiwan. I’m taking gap years so I’m free most of time. If I have free time, we can ride bikes to Asakusa together and I’ll show you around the east of Tokyo.

LEARN
One of my dream is to travel all around the world someday. Travel stories and the differences of culture, life styles, thinking ways are what I interested in. Practicing English is also the big reason I’m on Couchsurfing. Of course I’d love to learn your language if you could teach me some.
