Overview
About Me
I like to meet people from around the world to know how the lives are in other countries. To know the world, the best way is to know the people. Therefore, I travel. And it's a great chance for me to practice languages.
I study English in uni and also speak French, which is what I've been working on for years. I have passion in languages. I study translation in Taiwan and business in France. My dream is to be an interpreter! I guess I'm kind of humorous and can be a bit crazy sometimes. I'm talkative but I enjoy silence as well.
I was in France for a year as an exchange student. I backpacked throughout France and many European countries during that year. I am quite independent and straightforward. Most of the time, I traveled alone for meeting new people and getting inspiration for life. Couchsurfing gave me many unforgettable experiences and definitely will give me more in the future!
As for the interests, I play volleyball, love singing and drawing.
I'm up for everything!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I received so much kindness from CS during my big trip in Europe. I would like to give these kindness back to CS community by helping out travelers passing by Taiwan.
I just had my first surfing in Oct 2012 in Tours. It's the first time I know so much about France, both its culture and people! The most beautiful scenery in the journey is the people. I've done CS around France, England, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Ireland.
