I've been living in Taiwan for five years now! I work as an English teacher, though I also sell pasta on the side. I originally went to college for film, and worked in that industry for a year before deciding to take a leap and see the world.

I started couchsurfing in North America during my college years, and those experiences shaped who I am today and ultimately led me to where I am now. So far I have travelled through east Asia, India, southern Europe and of course America. I really hope to be able to expand that list soon.

I enjoy listening to new music, watching films, trying new food (I'm more adventurous than most with this) and doing active things. I'm very interested in movies and music from different cultures (especially South Korean films). I'd love to discover some new things from the people I meet.

I've been very busy lately, but still hope to make time once again for couchsurfing!

PS if you'd like to bring a gift I am always trying to expand my record collection to have records from all over the world! I am also interested in trading records with others -

PS if you are a "naked couchsurfer" please notify me beforehand. I'm not into that...

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I started using couchsurfing a couple years ago and I think it's one of the greatest things ever. I've met so many kind, friendly and interesting people and have made friends for life. I think this is a great way to really get to know the cities I travel to and meet authentic and genuine people.
