I'm a young-looking guy into nature stuff and also into meeting new friends around the world. That being said, I'm not a big fan of big party, instead, I prefer spending time with friends who we can have deeper conversations and genuine interaction. For example, I still remember the night in Mongolia, I lay down on the grassland by the yurt with some friends under beautiful stars. It was the most amazing starry sky I've ever seen. I also remember the trip to Jaisalmer, India. Friends from all over the world sitting around the fire in the middle of the desert, singing, cooking, chatting and laughing together. (That night there came an unusual thunder storm lol!) Another time in Guatemala, we smoked, danced, and chilled in the middle of the forest. That night I slept in a small cabin surrounded by big windows, so I fell asleep with the sound of the creek, trees, wind, owls, crickets and frogs, and I woke up with the sound of birds. Currently I'm living in a flat with amazing view in Taitung City. On the balcony both mountain and ocean can be clearly seen.

I love to explore and experience different cultures, I have a particular interest in things related to ancient civilizations. Places I have visited in the past: The centre of Maya Empire, Guatemala (2017); The center of Inca Empire, Peru (2016); India (2017); Egypt, Jordan and Israel (2018).

I used to work as a UX designer and a volunteering walking-tour guide in Taipei. But starting from this year, I began my teaching career in an experimental high school in Taitung City. I wish to share my overseas experience to my students, and inspire their interests to explore the world.

ps. I'm not a political person at all, but I still want to state that Taiwan is NOT a province of China. It's a shame Couchsurfing chooses to stand with China's point of view...Unfortunately there's very little I can do.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Meeting a friend who share similarity with me is super joyful. And meeting a friend with very different stories is super exciting! That is why I'm here to make friends from all over the world. I believe hanging out with friends with a wide range of diversity will make lives more inspiring and colorful!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

To hosts:
I can share Taiwanese culture (food, movies, music, history, politics, beaches, mountains, language...), Chinese traditions. I also have tennis racquets and table tennis racquets and maybe we can do these sports together!

If you are interested and our schedules are available, I can by materials from local supermarkets and cook some Taiwanese food for you.

To guests:
If you are interested and your schedule is available, I'll be very happy to invite you to my class to interact with kids!
