Ni Hao(你好). I'm Isabel!

*I’m currently living and being au pair in the North Carolina , US. So I won’t be able to host surfers in Taiwan.*

I grew up in Taipei but becoz I'm studying in Taichung so I have lived away from home for 3 years.
I'm not a brave girl and even a little bit shy sometimes maybe. But I know that I will live only once so I try to do things which may take me out of my comfort zone such as studying abroad, learning guitar to play it in front of people. Luckily, I felt happy that I did them and learnt something from them. I like to sing, like to make friends with people from all around the world, and like to try new things! Sometimes I feel like I won't be bored anyways. Because I'm too curious to discover new thing to do haha.

About my names... if you see Cin-yan, don't worry that's also me haha. That's my Chinese name but I know it is too hard for foreigners who don't use Chinese in their daily life to remember. And also, I don't want to be forgotten, so... I use my English name which is Isabel. If it's still hard for you to remember.... well, here's another option. You can call me : Yan-yan. Just call me whichever you want.

If you do want to know more about me...
This is the social media I use the most (instagram):

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I mentioned above, I like to make friends and learn languages.... Here I am!
So, don't hesitate to send me requests after reading my profile carefully.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

19-yr ~ Traveled to London alone to attend my cousin's wedding which was so amazing .
21-yr ~ Studied as an exchange student in Germany which I gained chances to travel in Europe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I do want to cook some Taiwanese food for you. Especially, a kind of Taiwanese breakfast which I usually made when I was studying in Germany and missing hometown food. But!!! As I came back home, I can buy it almost everywhere easily(yaaaa). So, if I have time, I'll definitely take you to my favorite breakfast restaurant to taste it!

I can also teach you how to save money when studying abroad or some practical words in Chinese.
