Hi, there! : )

I'm Sophia, or call me Sophie. I majored in English when I was in university. Currently I'm a student in a master program, specializing in Chinese linguistics. Also, I work as a part-time Chinese teacher.

I've lived in U.K. for a year when I was eight. U.K. is definitely my dreamland in memory. Moreover, I've lived in the States for another year as a high school exchange student. I was greatly influenced by American culture at that time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Due to my abroad experiences, I'd love to share you my place, my experience, and my culture. Hope you could have a fascinating time exploring the beautiful and vibrant sides of Taipei, Taiwan.

Interests

ღ Playing ukulele and cajon with my friends, but just for fun.

ღ Baking and cooking, such as cookies, pies, pound cakes and Chinese food.

ღ Traveling alone is fun. By this way, I see the world differently. But of course, traveling with friends is also a luxury.

ღ Sharing stories, experiences, culture, and recipes! I always love to share something known and learn something new.

Music, Movies, and Books

ღ Music
My taste was influenced by American culture, so I listen to American pop songs and R&B most of the time.

ღ Movie
I like to watch movies on TV during spare time, especially Disney, Hayao Miyazaki and action films.

ღ Book
I definitely love "Harry Potter." I've re-read the series for more than ten times. Besides, I also love "The Minds of Billy Milligan." Although my major isn't psychology, but I love to explore different aspects of human minds.
