ABOUT ME

Taiwan: July 4th - Aug. 3

I've been to Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, and studied all three languages in varying degrees. Traveling taught me most of what I know about life. I was Taiwanese in my past life ;)

Ah and yes, If you are requesting to surf, use my name in your request, and show that you've read/skimmed my profile, its a decent way to show you're not copy pasting messages, which I probably won't respond to. I do give preference to ppl with more surfing experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience is the best teacher.

You'll forget much of what you learn in college but traveling experiences, living in other countries, and meeting vibrant people stays with you forever.
