About Me

Something about me:
A girl from Taiwan!
I am sporty, trustful and a bit idealistic.
I have taken around six weeks backpacking in Europe (first-time backpacking alone) and three weeks backpacking in Asia. Meeting new friends (sometimes even traveling together) on the road always makes the trip memorable!
With some traveling experiences, I know how it feels like when traveling in a country with so different culture from your own, and what a traveler need during travel (doing laundry, meeting new friends, having a good meal......)
So far, I am still learning this world from traveling, experiencing and making new friends. Love to meet any friend who I haven't met yet! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ohhhhhhh, I am a Couchsurfing Beginner.
I start being a couchsurfer because of bunch of good friends who taught me kindness and hospitality.
And they recommended me the couchsurfing so that that is how I start knowing it!
Couchsurfing is one of the best way to show people the beauty of the world from different aspects like people, people's stories, sightseeing... or even find the people who share the same life philosophy with you: travel, make new friends and hospitality.....
I have to tell you that I love the concept of couchsurfing and want to practice it in my life!
So~ here I am!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen various types of music, but usually house, acoustic, soul music.

As to movie, I enjoy movies a lot. I love About Time, Juste la fin du monde (Xavier Dolan, one of my favorite director!), Trainspotting, Pride and prejudice (2005 version), One day etc.
TV series: I like Genius, Game of Thrones, New Girl, Big Little Lies, Sherlock etc.

About the books (I love reading. I usually buy the books more than I could read haha):
What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Murakami Haruki
Great Expectation
One Day
Pride and Prejudice

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode the bike around Taiwan! Though Taiwan is not big country but it still took me 11 days to finish it. Riding the bike on 400 m high mountain is exhausting (for a person who have rarely ridden the bike XD), but breathing in the fresh air, seeing the stunning Pacific Ocean and watching four different types of seashore (stone, sand, fault coast, coral reefs) does make everything worthy!

So far, I am looking for the next amazing thing to accomplish!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach Mandarin (traditional ones) and share my stories, thought and culture. If you come to Taiwan I would love to show you around this island.
I want to learn from the people I met (or not yet met ^^), learn from different cultures and this world!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my stories, my own culture and what I saw, experienced in this world with the hosts!
And if you share the same hobbies with me, I will love to do it with you, like surfing, running, watching the movies. (I mean.. that's the point of Couchsurfing, isn't it?)

If you are interested in learning Mandarin or Traditional character, I would love to teach you about it!
