About Me

Hey there!

I was born in Taiwan but also spent many years in New Zealand. I love adventure, people and new experiences.

I love to think and talk about culture, tech, and other 'big' topics. Apart from that, I love to listen to adventure/life stories. I don't think there's any topic that I find boring.

Did I also mention that I love pets, food and music?

MY MISSION
To bring happiness to those I meet, and be the change I want to see.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the greatest thing about traveling is you get to meet people you'd otherwise never have met and see the world from their perspective.

I'm here because I don't just want to meet other travelers, but I want to meet people from a completely different culture from my own. There is a lot of value in being able to see things from the eyes of others.
