About Me

Short recently updated self introduction:
I’m a Taiwanese completed my master in machine learning from 2019-2021 in Sweden. Currently working in Cologne Germany as a data engineer. Love traveling the world, recent big trips include Turkey and India. Lived in Taiwan, Australia, Sweden, Turkey and Germany.

I love different cultures and always want to explore unique places that’s why you probably see me here. We can explore food scene, nature, cultural activities and entertainment like art, dance together. Or talk to me about data engineering or programming is also cool. I also love taking travel videos and photos.

Below are very old self introduction:

Me:
Bachelor degree of foreign language and literature. I'm currently working in Taipei full-time. Love to go to the nature, explore music and culture. I was born in Taitung, a secret county in Taiwan that combines culture of ocean life, aboriginal Taiwanese, hippie, mountain life and chinese altogether. I was very fortunate to develop my world view and sense of living in such chilled environment. I always thought of going out of this peaceful city and connect with people from all over the world. (still striving to develop a life based on my philosophy in this generic capitalistic city called Taipei.)

In summer 2012, I traveled alone in Europe as a backpacker. My perception to the world had been raised to a new level after the journey. I realized that the world is so big and there are just so many things i haven't seen out there. I want to keep on exploring.

Then I went to Australia for a year of working holiday. By actually living there, I get to experience the laid-back culture in Australia. It was a very cool time to dance to hip-hop, chat with strangers on hipster bar street and act fancy in casino with all the friends I got to know there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was invited by a friend to this website,
and I found this website quite useful.

I mostly met up couchsurfers and drove them around the city (back in Taitung), it's always nice to hear their stories while making friends with them.
