About Me

ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm from Taiwan who also call this Island Formosa. And I grown up in Taiana city, which has abundant tradition culture and buildings, furthermore, most of Taiwanese consider that Tainan is the most city to live in. Before few years ago, I realized that I lose everything except work, working is whole my world, even don't know what is life. Someone said, if the person really wants to acquainted well with one country and culture, to live there at last one year to experienced how's the season change in a year. therefore, I quitted my job, and decided do something I have desired for a longtime- Au pair. Now, I'm doing Au pair in Paris, and learned French, I really like to get something new from people and from life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always choosed in hotel or hostel when I was traveling, I realized there make me feel "monotone", contacting with the people who live there is one of the best way to make the travel colorful, memorable and also to well know their culture. In addition, we could exchange some experiences, foreign foods or something interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 21 years old, I had traveled Europe for 75 days, I studied language school in Lyon for one month, after, I went to Spin and Italy. It was a great experienced that I never forgot, everything were new, different cultures, french foods, and learned how to solved problems by myself and face to myself, I'm thankful my homestay family in those days, they treated me like a member of their family, and has have a lot of patience listen to me. After such a perfect traveled, I decided to back to Europe long stay. In 2017, it happened that I found the program which named Au pair, it's a perfect opportunities , in addition, I has a forgetful year in 2018, I went to Finland where is incredible!!! There covered of deep snow, and the people who lived in Finland are friendly, then, my sister and I took pictures of aurora light at -30 degree, but we still excittted!
