Hi everyone! I'm Peggy from Taiwan, currently working in Taipei. Every year, I love to spend time traveling to places I've never been before. Whether it's big cities or rural landscapes, I want to see everything with my own eyes. I want to discover things that aren't shown in books or travel videos, as I believe every place has a story worth knowing. This passion has awakened my traveling spirit - I enjoy meeting locals, hearing their thoughts, and learning about local food. It helps me better understand both the world and myself.

My travel journey began in 2021 when I was an exchange student in Germany (2021-2022). During that time, I met people from many different places. Learning about different perspectives was fascinating to me, which inspired me to explore more of the world. That's when I started using CS and began my annual travel tradition.

Although I registered on CS back in 2014, I only became active in 2023. I mainly use the Hangout feature to meet travelers visiting Taiwan or to connect with locals when I travel abroad. Since my apartment in Taipei doesn't have extra space, I'm not able to host.

You can find me on Instagram at pegggggi - feel free to contact me there as well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I registered on CS back in 2014, I started using it actively in 2023. What got me started was my experience as an exchange student in Germany during 2021-2022. During that time, I met people from all over the world, and through our conversations and interactions, I learned about different perspectives, cultures, and values. I found it all so fascinating and wanted to learn more, which led me to become active on CS. Since last year, I've mainly been using the hangout feature, and thanks to CS, I've made so many friends. I'm really grateful for this community!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Growing up, I was taught that studying hard was the key to finding a good job in the future. And I did achieve that - I attended a good school. But was this what I really wanted? It wasn't until I went abroad as an exchange student and met people from other countries that I realized life isn't just about having a good job and making money. There are other more important things. This experience helped me understand what I truly enjoy, and now I'm happy with the life I'm living

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to share about Taiwanese culture, values, food, and answer any questions about Taiwan. I can also share my travel experiences in Europe and Southeast Asian countries. I'm a very open minded person and willing to discuss any topics if you're interested, I'm always happy to share my thoughts. Currently, I'm interested in learning new languages, particularly German and Spanish. In the future, I'd love to work in other countries if I get the opportunity.
