Hi 你好
I’m YiLien from Taiwan.
Yilan is where my family live in, and I'm in Kyoto for my university studying now.
(BTW, Anthropology is what I'm majoring in.)
I live in dorm so that accepting guest is not allowed,but I'd love to take you to some place in Kyoto if you want :)
I used to lived in Okayama, Japan, because my dad studied his master degree there and I went to the local preschool for 2 years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Postcrossing is the first way for me to connect with this global village; I do really love to know different people, different stories from all over the world.
As a consequently, I think couchsurfing will be a great way, either.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling by myself with almost no plan in Japan.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning other languages and sharing my languages, thus, if my hosts were interesting in it, I'm willing to teach you Mandarin and Taiwanese.
And if hosts were willing, I also want to learn some sentences in your language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking some Taiwanese food.
Writing some Mandarin characters.
