About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience life with my children.

ABOUT ME

I have been working in NGO helping elderly people who live alone and have no relatives. My working experience made me realize we do not have much time and we should cherish the small things in our lives. My husband is a teacher in a junior high school. We have two children, a 13-year-old girl, and an 11-year-old boy. They have been very curious about the world and since we started hosting couchsurfers their horizons have also been expanding. I am glad I can introduce them to different lifestyles and cultures so that they could become more openminded in the future. Spending time with my family is my priority. We are making the most of every day spending its act together and it is always fun. Joseph loves sports and we enjoy swimming and hiking very much!
We have also traveled aboard by Cs and making new friends there. We have been experiencing different cultures and discovering things they can’t learn at schools.

PHILOSOPHY

A pragmatic person, but believing in the romantic side of life.

Music, Movies, and Books

my children playing learn to play the instruments and I bear with the initial noise hoping to hear them one day at the musical hall.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Chinese language, cooking, homemade yummie delicacies, including tea, jams, honey, vegetable and fruit from my parents' farm.

What I Can Share with Hosts

exploring Nantou region and getting to know our daily routine, cooking and hiking together. My kids will play the piano and Chinese flute for you! Believe me, you will never get bored with us!
Last year I helped one Csurfer to find a volunteering position and this seemingly thing turned out to be a massive experience for her and the children she has been teaching.
