About Me

Dedicated foodie, dessert monster, arts enthusiast, film geek.

I am an editor for a lifestyle magazine based in Taipei, and I am also a professional photographer based in the world. Photography brought me to some movie stars' fancy studio, to a few haunted abandoned buildings, to the dirty pig market at the midnight, to the place where the inspirations are calling me, including interesting people around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting fun people when I'm traveling, and I'm happy to get inspired by interesting guests when I'm not traveling.

I am a green kid to couchsurfing, I've traveled with hostels or airbnb for years but seems like CS is just way more exciting. Right now I share an apartment with 3 other girls and 3 cats, so I might not be able to be the host because the house is too full. However, when I move to another apartment after August , I'd love to be a host and to share how amazing my hometown is.
