Hi there, my name is Hui-Ting Lin, but you can also call me Gina.
I used to be a sales assistant and am now a junior software engineer in Taipei, Taiwan.
I am trying to make a work-life balance.

I would describe myself as a positive, energetic, sporty, and outdoorsy person.
Good food, different cultural experiences, and deep conversations always attract my attention.
I also enjoy spending time with people who are willing to share stories.

# PHILOSOPHY
You only live once.
People are like books - some deceive you by their glossy cover and others surprise you by their deep content.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel deeply and communicate with locals instead of sightseeing only
To share the culture of Taiwan
To meet friends from all over the world
To try something new that I have never done it before

Interests

I love any sport, volleyball, basketball, tennis, hiking, and running.
I also love the world underwater, I am a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver which allows me to dive under 30 meters.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love EDM music and K-POP
Two of my favorite DJs are Kygo and Galantis. Their songs accompany me during my runs.
There is a South Korean girl group BLACKPINK, I started to like them when hearing their debut song "WHISTLE".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started my first CS trip in Russia instead of my home country Taiwan in 2015.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share the experience of being underwater
Share the beauty of my mother language - Traditional Chinese
We do speak Chinese the same as people from China.
but there are great differences in texts between China and Taiwan, take "dragon" for an example.
China - Simplified Chinese: 龙
Taiwan - Traditional Chinese: 龍
