About Me

Hiya!

I’m Dawn from Taiwan.

I’m currently an Erasmus student studying outdoor education in the Lake district.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a fantastic way to meet new friends!

The first time I couch surfed is here in UK, too. The hosts and I became friends since then. We are still in touch! It’s really a brilliant chance to make people, isn't it? My first couch surfing experience is surprisingly amazing (It's actually the highlight of my journey.) I'm really grateful for it!

For me, CS is like an open door to interact with local people who enjoy the life there and love to share the passion on by hosting people from all over the world!

Interests

I love reading, walking (barefoot when the weather is good), cycling, diving, dancing, cooking, and traveling (of course!) Almost every outdoor activities, isn't it? I'm interested in learning yoga, Tai-chi, sea kayaking and rock climbing.

Also, I have great passion in learning languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of music, particularly those who sing quietly.

I read all sorts of books but comic books are absolutely my favourite!

I and watch movies except for the horror & torture ones but love every movie directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Yes, all of them, especially Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Howl's Moving Castle, and Princess Mononoke.

It depends on the mood most of the time.

Recently, I fell in love with these two songs.

This one is probably my forever top one. The name of the song is "Lost and Found." Enjoy it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Here & Now.

I always wonder how far can I go, and now I am on my journey. I have classmates from all over the world, and every aspects of life is learning for me, whether in class or off class.

In fact, we went to the Isle of Rum, and lived in a BOTHY for one night! Thought it's one night only, but that's indeed amazing and special experience for me.
