I'm currently studying in Paris, trying to improve my French and to integrate into the French culture. I want to meet interesting people around the world, and share the amazing stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met people from different countries through Couchsurfing when I was living in England a few years ago. At that time, I didn't have a chance to host anybody, but I made quite a few friends on the website. Now I live with two Taiwanese students, and we are eager to meet couchsurfers from different countries. As a foreigner in France, I also would like to know people who live in Paris, and hang out together.

CS is not a dating website.
I know there are some problems on Couchsurfing, but I still manage to meet many nice and polite people. I guess it's everyone's duty to preserve and improve this platform.

Interests

I study English literature so I enjoy reading and going to the theater and cinema. I also get hooked to cooking after I moved to France (since Taiwanese people don't cook in Taiwan, eating out is so cheap and tasty!). And I love to go to restaurants and cafés (the genuine Taiwanese spirit! ha). Yet, I I care about animals' right, so I usually don't eat meat. (but I don't over-react when I see delicious meaty cuisine...)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like old stuff that doesn't belong to my generation.

Movies: La nouvelle vague in France, world cinema, Alfred Hitchcock, documentaries...
Music: Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Serge Gainsbourg...
Books: too many... I got to think about this list for quite a long while...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The touching one:
When I was in England, I helped a disabled lady who had MS as a volunteer. I wouldn't say that I have sacrificed to help her. It was a unique experience and I also learned a lot from her.

The crazy one:
I've slept in the open field just with my jackets and clothes on during the summer solstice festival in Stonehenge without being frozen to death... Don't go there during summer solstice!!
