I'm an easy going and pretty relaxed person.

Always open to getting lost and discovering something I never expected.

Food is my life, close second is anything nerdy.

The best times of my life have been abroad, meeting new people.

I strive to try to see the best in people and bring out the same in myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I loved hosting surfers back in Canada. On a bit of a Hiatus now that I’m in a Taiwan, though I want to be back at it soon!

Surfers and Hosts are part of a community that gets it. We need more people with this kind of empathy and energy.

Interests

I love hiking, people-watching, cooking, baking, photography, walking, cycling, gardening, Enjoying time with friends, exploring, listening to and playing music, drawing, swimming, unafraid of getting my hands and feet wet :)

Music, Movies, and Books

All things Star Trek and Star Wars, currently on Voyager.

As they say, mostly everything; From Chillstep and Triphop to classical music~ how about some salsa or merengue?

I’ll always pick up a Murakami book and I’m trying to work my way through some classics; lately I’m big into shorter non-fiction that focus on a time and place. Biographies are great and I’m a bit of a map nerd, so I love Atlases lol

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Shared in Bunun Culture in Hualien

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything regarding Cuisine, Pastry and Baking! I will share my love of this until you tell me to stop.

I love anything to do with preserving, fermentation and Sourdoughs.

Anything to do with Grandma’s kitchen that begs to be shared with the youth of our world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything related to food or my country; I love doing dishes as much as bringing a bottle of wine to the table and sharing.
I could help you with your knife skills or whip up a little something-something from back home ;)
