***UPDATE 🌈
Due to the outbreak of coronavirus, i cancelled my plan to UK in April.
It’s not a good timing meeting new people and visiting crowded places now.

HOWEVER, if you are stuck in Taipei for EMERGENCY reasons like flight being canceled, please contact me, and maybe I can help you a little bit.

If you just come from some places which are not safe, and need to be quarantined for 14days, then sorry I can’t host you. 😥

Here is Estela from Taiwan. I love traveling, hiking, photography and meet new friends. The first time I travel alone is to visit Spain for two weeks in 2014. Then I stayed in Germany 🇩🇪 for 7months in 2015. During this period, I spent time on traveling in Europe, did au pair, workaway for exchanging local life experiences.

In 2016-2017, I lived in Canada 🇨🇦 with my girlfriend for 1year. In summer, we did some hiking, kayaking and camping in our favourite Jasper national park. 🦌 Also spent half year staying in Grande Prairie which is a city that you can see beautiful Northern light in winter.

When I was in Taiwan, I lived in the capital city Taipei. I used to work in hospital, university and my last job was a street-fundraiser in Greenpeace.

Now I live in Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 and I will stay here until the beginning of December. :D
I am not a real local here, can’t tell you lots of history and stories about this city, but I can share some travel experiences and tips with you. :P

🌈 For me, hangout just means that I want to meet new friends, interesting people and look forward to exchanging our culture and life stories to each other.

I have girlfriend, so if you’re looking for sex or girlfriend, don’t waste time on the wrong person. :P

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I would like to meet some new friends during my travels. Meeting people in hostels is definitely cool, but if there are locals who are willing to spend time with me and share their life stories and experiences, that will be great.

Also, as a host, I would like to share my space with people from different countries, makes traveling easier with lower budget and explore interesting things together. I am willing to show you more about Taiwanese culture.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach you how to speak Mandarin and how to write in traditional Chinese words.

The language I am learning is Spanish and German. Also I am a beginner in Scuba diving. Seldom get a chance to keep practicing it. :’(

I share my life story and I am a good listener. Or maybe you would like to try some simple Taiwanese food. :)
