★★As some personal reasons, I will don't offer my place to surfers for a while.

My name is Huichen Hsiao, or you can call me hc, my nickname, which is the abbreviation of "Hui-Chen", my chinese name. Many friends of mine are used to calling me hc.

I am easy-going and optimistic. I want to make many different friends, to see different world, to do whatever I want to do.

I like to go traveling. It is a very romantic thing examining your feelings carefully and sending a postcard to yourself when you travel in a strange city.

I like go jogging. I also love traveling with marathon. It's a good way to know a strange city by attending local marathon. It always be awesome, when you finish a marathon.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the moment,and keep going happily.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard CS through internet and really want to be a surfer. Frist, I open my couch for other surfers from anywhere. Then I travelled in Norway and surfed with three hosts in 2011. I met many lovely people. That are wonderfur experiences. I love CS sooooo much.
I love to be a surfer, also be a host.
Welcome to my place, I like to take surfers around.
