Overview
About Me
Hello! ¡Hola! 你好! :)
ABOUT ME
Lots of things in my mind all the time, such as learning languages, how to enrich my life, and find out where is my next destination.
Most of my working experiences are related to buying and import goods. I put myself as an easygoing, independent, thoughtful, considerate, friendly, and diligent person. My pastimes: yoga, swimming, jogging, workout, reading, traveling, and learning languages. I’m also addicted to watch tennis games, and I played it for a while.
I studied in England for master programme. After that, I came back to Taipei for work. Recently I am learning Spanish. I love traveling and write some traveling articles in my blog to share with friends and people. Enjoy my life and appreciate. I try to learn new things as many as I can.
PHILOSOPHY
Keep learning.
Thanks for anything around the world.
Listen to what I want from my heart.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I started to join Couchsurfing when I had a two-month Europe trip in 2010. It was an unforgettable memory during this journey. I met many nice hosts and built nice friendship with people. From my perspective, CS brings a good choice for travelers. It makes people trust each other rather than a free accommodation.
I received many helps from local people when traveling around the world, so I decide to contribute something back for foreign travelers. I've brought many foreigners to visit Taipei where I live here for my whole life. It's really great to know people like my hometown after traveling with me.
Interests
Yoga, swimming, jogging, workout, reading, traveling, and learning languages.
I love watching tennis games as well. It's too bad, I don't play it now.

Music, Movies, and Books
Regarding entertainment, I like Grey’s Anatomy, Game of Throne, Sherlock, The Hotel (Spanish drama), and some Asian (Taiwanese, Chinese, and Japanese) dramas. For music, I like many diverse songs from different style singers or groups, such as Lana Del Rey, Linkin Park, Take That, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift. I also enjoy Jazz and classic music.
Recently I like the films - The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Gone Girl and Still Alice.
Books: Still Alice, Finding Black Bear and High speed 13km
Food: I love food! When I traveling in different, I try to eat many different local food. I think food is an important element to connect with people. Italian, American, Middle-East, South-East Asia, Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese food and etc...
My favourite beef wrap, steak, pasta, pizza, omelet, falafel, and others...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I bought a flight ticket from Taiwan to Japan before 12-hours departure in September 2011. Although I didn't prepare any travel information before this trip, I had a great time for releasing the pressure alone.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can cook some dishes and willing to share, such as beef noodle, pineapple and shrimp ball, sushi, pasta and etc. Also, I can teach people write calligraphy and Chinese (I attended Chinese Teaching Programme in National Taiwan University in 2015). If I have time, I'm willing to show people around in Taipei.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Cook Taiwanese dishes for my hosts I think. Also I can share some interesting stories in my life.
