Hello 你好！~ My name is Ileana, or Pin Yi :)

Three dose vaccinated!

I am a Taiwanese from the Bubble Tea Capital.
I love art and storytelling, and am traveling to see how elastic is the box of storytelling.
I have been making contemporary photography and short films,
they are not perfect but surely experimental. :P
At this phase of my life,
I start to feel a bit scary about the whole "pursuing art" thing, but still I am in the journey of it!
Knowing different friends from different countries always remind myself how big the world is.
Art in any form for me is something communal regardless of different languages and cultures.

I look forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

couchsurfing is a unconventional way to deal with the living while traveling.
I believe that this is also a way to meet more local people, which is what I am open to and interested of.

Interests

• photography
• traveling
• filming
• watching movies
• screenwriting
• writing poems

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite song is Wings by Macklemore, I like how it express consumerism in a beautiful way.

My favorite movie is Pieta. This korean movie is absolutely heartbreaking but I die for the storytelling of it. Please watch it when you are alone in your room at a Saturday night!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am a screenwriter, short film director, photographer, actor, and model. I love contemporary art in general and also have been learning different languages. The languages I am currently learning is German (very tricky!) and Korean.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn about your culture since I am always interested in that in a more local perspective. Youtube and social media might be handy but I think it always hits different when learning from couchsurfing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

For teaching and sharing, I definitely can teach you Mandarin. Also if you are interested in Asian culture or Taiwanese culture in general, I am very willing to share my loving culture to you! Besides of that, if you are a big art or film lover like me, I will be happy to chat with you in different cultural context.
