About Me

My goal in next 3 year is to start my own business and publish my first book.

My brother just got his book published last month and owned a public fund to start film his first ever mini-movies. He gives me a lot of inspirations in life.

I want to live as much as I can and get some great things done and leave as less regret as possible.

I love travelling. I have been to quite a few places in China and here in the UK. Visited Netherlands, Ireland not so long along. Absolutely fall in love with Dublin. Planned to go to Norway a few weeks ago but missed the flight. For me, travelling is an important part of life and a essential source of inspiration. I really like to meet local people and listen to them talking about stories and too meet mind-liked people, expose myself to stuffs that are different from my upbringing. I also like watch movies and listen to music in my spare time!And cooking as well.I am foodie!!!I love trying out new food whenever i visit a new place.I watch lots videos about cooking as well and love to cook it myself. I like inviting friends over for lunch and sometimes dinner too.Always have a good time preparing for food and spend some quality time with friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard a lot of wonderful stories from one of my flatmate about her stories with coachsurfing and I would really want to be part of the amazing community. I would also like to meet more like-minded people and make friends.And when I have a place of my own,I would really love to host people from different places.

Interests

yoga, badminton ,cooking, reading and travelling,deep conversation, family, dining out with friends and families!! Haha, it is a little bit expensive for me to dine out much here in the UK so I invite friends over and cook instead. It is one of my favourite thing to do--preparing and cooking nice stuff and sometimes we go out and have dinner and wine as well. I AM USED to like red wine but now, white wine is my favourite. I Love dancing as well.I am in Salsa society in university now. I am not so good at the moment but it is so much fun!! Especially after with some cider!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to different generic music as long as they sound good.
I like comedies and thrillers.Sometimes i watch documentary as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to London at midnight in the last minutes to see the new year's eve firework display. Had a blast with a bunch of friends.
Went a 5 day trip just several days before final exam and luckily saw the snow for the first time.IT WAS breathtaking.
Decided to further my study in the UK and it turns out the best decisions that I have ever made.
Visited a friend who I met online and visited her in Leeds.Had such a wonderful time.Now, she is my best friend.

Teach, Learn, Share

The meeting of two personality is like the contact of two chemical substance; if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

I like to go new places, try new things and enjoy the life to the fullest in order to gather great memories as much as possible.

I would like to learn as many language as I can and would happy to teach you how to speak Chinese and Taiwanese.And hopefully by the end of this year, I will be fluent in both conversational German and Cantonese.

I love cooking and discover new recipes!!I would really like to cook Chinese food with you!!I can cook some British and Thai food too!!
