I am a Paraguayan student currently living in Taiwan and learning Chinese. Despite being here for only 2 months, I am still unable to speak Chinese fluently. Due to a strict scholarship, my free time is limited. However, I am eager to explore Asia, meet new people, and immerse myself in different cultures whenever possible.

I am openly gay, over 30 years old, and experiencing being a full-time student abroad away from my family for the first time. My interests revolve around theatre, acting, performing arts, food, cultural activities, and creating Instagram content. I'm not much of a party person, but I am incredibly curious.

With over 11k followers on Instagram, I'm considered a 'micro influencer' in my home country, and I enjoy engaging with my loyal audience. You can find me as @gercaballeropy on Instagram.

I'm excited to meet people from diverse backgrounds, especially those in Taiwan. Exploring the culture and practicing Chinese are top priorities for me at the moment.

I pride myself on being very clean and respectful. I don't snore (confirmed by my sleep app), manage my dust allergies well, and am always willing to collaborate. Additionally, I'd bring a small gift from Paraguay during my visit and can teach you Guarani (my native language), Spanish, or practice English together.

While I can't offer a place to stay due to sharing a small apartment with three wonderful ladies and having no extra space, I'm willing to adjust if you're around Yilan City.

Thank you for considering hosting me. Feel free to add me as a friend, follow me on Instagram, or message me here anytime!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a scholarship student without a job and have a limited monthly income, making it challenging to afford hotels or rental places. However, being in a new place presents a valuable opportunity for me to connect with people. I find immense joy in listening to stories as they often inspire and motivate me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a passion for pop music and enjoy watching a wide array of movies, excluding horror. I'm open to learning and trying new experiences, though I lean towards conventional and commercial interests. In my home country, I used to host Oscars party viewings and had a knack for accurately predicting the winners.

When it comes to books, I'm forever a teenager at heart. I'm drawn to love stories, science fiction, and novels that allow me to escape into different worlds. Adulthood was never something I aspired to through my reading choices.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made a significant decision in my thirties: I left my 'amazing job,' departed from my country, and left behind family and friends to pursue learning a new language and achieve my long-awaited degree in Taiwan. This move stands as living proof that it's never too late to pursue your dreams and start anew from scratch.
