About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Follow my bliss.
Planning to travel through Europe from mid Feb to April 2016.
Looking for kind and friendly hosts at the moment in Germany, Finland and Zurich.

ABOUT ME

I am easygoing and open-minded. Love to meet new friends and exchange different life experience and philosophies.
Working in the theatre as a stage manager, lighting designer, production coordinator and technician for more than 10 years. There are many world famous theatre companies I've worked with. Therefore, I have lots of stories to share with people who found theatre interesting.

Currently live close to Tamsui (Danshui), famous sunset spot. I love walking or cycling along the river. I might not be able to offer a couch. But definitely love to show you around and help you to know a bit more about Taiwan.

PHILOSOPHY

Be brave to be who you are, but you got to know yourself honestly at first.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteer in the aboriginal villages upon the hills around norther-west Thailand. Karen people have pure and beautiful hearts.

I have a great German friend, Marcus, who I met in Cambridge in 2000. We carry on our friendship through emails and few regular mails till I visited him in Berlin after 5 years. We are still very good friends now and forever.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share life experiences and stories about travelling through different countries and what theatre lives are all about. I can cook Taiwanese dishes (better with veggies) and traditional dessert. Can also bake vegan banana cake with soy milk and olive oil. (My own recipe after several experiments, low fat and healthy)
I am a tidy, polite and friendly guest. Any host who is willing to host me will receive lots of appreciation and a little special souvenir from Taiwan. Thank you.
