About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel more and learn more

ABOUT ME

I'm quite easy to get along with and open-minded. When in a group, might be shy in the beginning but end up cracking some jokes. I love meeting people from all over the world. Actually I see people from different countries everyday at my work place and enjoy learning different culture from them and sharing mine as well.

PHILOSOPHY

*Learn hard, work harder, play even harder.
*Cherish what you have & respect what you don't have.
*What goes around comes around.
*I believe that we can always learn something from each and every person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One friend introduced the CS concept to me after reading a book published by a Taiwanese CS expert.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met some couch surfers and surfed three times in UK and France so far. Once my parents hosted a Taiwanese CSer in an emergency situation as well. Overall, I have marvelous CS experience & I'm gradually accumulating it :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made a bike tour all by myself around Lac-Saint-Jean (1003 km2) in Quebec Province for five days. I almost gave up my plan on my first day due to the high bike rental fee, but fortunately the B&B owner lent his bike to me because he thought I was very courageous! Got lost in the forest and luckily enough a forest worker saved me before the sun went down.
