About Me

I’m from Taiwan and working in Shezhen, China currently. Therefore if you want to stay during the weekday. I can only host you after work, but I can find you some delicious food together and have a drink with interesting conversation at night before bed. I came to Shenzhen at Feb. 2019, honestly speaking I’m not really familiar with Shenzhen city but I’m willing to explore this city with you. I described myself as clean, open minded and easy going person. So I’m really exciting to meet you and hope we can share life experience, traveling story and everything about ourselves with each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I joined CS community from 2015, but I never had chance to do couch surfing or hosting till now, since I moved to Shenzhen to work and have my own place, I want to try to host traveler around the world. Because I love to meet person, and hear the story to explore the thing I didn’t know yet.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach
1. Mandarins
As Taiwanese, I can proudly said I’m good at Mandarin and can teach some vocabulary for you to survive in China or even Taiwan.
2. Basketball
I’m playing basketball for almost 20 years, I’m not really good player however I’m happy to teach you some skill and play with others in local court.
3. Golf
I’m beginner in golf with only iron clubs, I’m terrible at it so far, but still can hit the ball every times, if you’re interesting to learn I have grass mattress and practice at my place, or you can come with me to golf range in Hong Kong on weekend, it’s crazy expensive in China.

Learn
1. Japanese
Ironically, I can’t speak single Japanese even I’m working in Japanese company, but I’m really looking forward someone to show me how to learn and speak Japanese properly.
2. English
I feel confidence to speak English with people, but I don’t have perfect grammar skill and pronunciation, people always said the most important thing is to communicate with people. But I want to improve my ability as mush as I can.
3, Cooking
My place has fully functional kitchen, but I rare cook since I’m living alone. When I was student I worked as part time chief in Burger restaurant, Japanese Yakitori restaurant in Taipei, Taiwan and brunch cafe in Melbourne, Australia while I did working holiday in 2016. As foodie and former cook, I’m happy to learn every dish around the world, so don’t be shy and show me the most authentic dish from your country.
4. Others
I love sports, I’m doing basketball, running(30mins/5k mostly), golf, badminton(once a week), football(once a month or less, really suck at it) and workout sometimes. Happy to learn others sport which I didn’t experience yet.
Any other thing is welcome as well, I really love to try every new stuff with people. Just show me, I’ll try my best to learn from you,

Share
1. Traveling experience and life story
I haven’t been to too many country, but I would like to share my traveling experience and life story with you, also I spent over 6 months in Australia for working holiday, that’s my most memorable experience and want to share.
2. Whiskey
I’m whiskey lover and always has one bottle of whiskey to share with my friend, for those non-alcohol people, I’m also addicted at coke, so don’t worry about it.
