ABOUT ME

Hi~My Chinese name is 吳和峻, you can call me Ivan like some of my friends do. I'm 1.8m tall and weigh 61kg. Easy-going, friendly, kind, those are what my friends would say about me. I've been working in Hsinchu as an engineer for more than 6 years after leaving the army(in Taiwan it's an obligation that grown men have to serve in the army for 1 year).
In my free time, I like to exercise, I usually swim twice a week, my favorite sport is basketball, I also like to hang out with my friends, watch a movie, listen music, surf the internet and so on. I don't have any bad habits like smoking or drinking, but I do like having some beer or cocktail sometimes.
Although my English is not very well, I can still understand what you are talking about if you speak slowly, or we can use the world common language: body language if necessary. I believe I can enrich my life by using this amazing way to travel. Nice to meet you, and let's have good time together:)

PHILOSOPHY

Honesty is the best policy.
Experience is the best teacher.
Actions speak louder than words.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My friend Brian Chen(you can also search him on CS) told me this
amazing website.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have been both a couchsurfer and a host couple times. All my hosts and surfers were friendly, I liked to chat with them, exchanging our culture. I really like this way of travel which you can meet people worldwide, knowing a place's culture deeply, and it's very interesting!
