About Me

I am currently studying computer science in the US. I was a visiting student in Paris for one year, which was such a fortunate opportunity. I traveled around EU during this time (but haven't got the chance to visit the Northern Europe though.) Other than this, I volunteered in Taiwan, India, and the Philippines during my college. The freshness and joy of making new friends around are still something I yearn for everyday. I believe it is worthwhile to keep doing so for the rest of my life.
I see myself as a warm and open person. Chatting with new people is not a problem to me with some sense of humor around. I enjoy trying out new stuff or learning new experience from others. As the world is too big and life is too short, it's never too late to start embracing them. X)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I tried my first CS in Sydney in a shared house. All of the four hosts was really nice. We shared our stories, foods, and some Taiwanese pastries!
My second experience came when I visited Nice in 2014.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A roadtrip through Queensland, from Cairns to Brisbane.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could cook Taiwanese foods, which I hope would match your taste. I play tennis. I do programming.
I've learned to play piano, cello and clarinet before and learning to play some new instruments would be wonderful.
Also I just got my diver licence, so it'd be awesome to share stuff about diving.
And of course, any travel stories are more than welcomed.
