About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience the world and enjoy it with amazing people!

ABOUT ME

I am pretty simple. I love good food, sipping wine/cocktail, great musics/movies, taking photos of lovely ppl/things, making new friends, and enjoying all the amazing things that the world has to offer. I don't like judging people as I believe they are generally nice and everyone has something valuable that I can adore. Probably that's why people tend to think that I'm an open-minded and pretty easy-going person. But I guess you'll have to judge by yourself via meeting me in person. ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

I'm Nobody! Who are you?
by Emily Dickinson

I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you€œ Nobody€œ too?
Then there's a pair of us?
Don't tell! They'd advertise€œ you know!

How dreary€œ to be€œ Somebody!
How public€œ like a Frog
To tell one's name the livelong June
To an admiring Bog!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I got lots of really great experience from this website when I exchanged to Europe. I would really love to reach out to help people in return if I could. In my experience, visiting a place with a local is always more interesting than doing it on my own. ;-) So don't hesitate to contact me if you're in town. It would be my pleasure to show you around the places that I like! Hope you'll like them too :-) If unfortunately we can't get to meet, I'll still be happy if I can offer you some help and some advice.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

1. I went to New Zealand with four of my friends. Since I didn't join couchsurfing then. We use my friends profile and found a really great host in Dunedin who was willing to host all of us, offer us some great food, and even take us out to the city. That quite an experience I would say.
2. I traveled to Madrid and surfed to Txema's place. This experience was incredibly awesome in every detail!
3. When I traveled to Copenhagen, I was hosted by Kim. We had some really awesome adventures together!
4. I surfed to Dave's place when I visited London. Although London was already an indescribably amazing city, everything became even more beautiful when I created a real bond of friendship with the friend I met on my journey. :-)

1. The first group of people I hosted were Sharon and her friend. How could I not help people from Taiwan! ;-D
2. The second person I hosted from CS was Lucas. We share same interest in photography and he was way better than I did in taking photos. I learned a lot from him. Furthermore, he was super grateful for nearly everything. That really made it super easy to host him. I'm glad to say that we are still friends and we still keep in touch with each other now.
And I hosted many of my friends and friends of my friends since a long time ago.
