About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Connect the world-history and discover the personalities of each country by traveling and making friends around the world.

ABOUT ME

I am always full of imagination and have a lot of dreams in mind.
Inwards,I live in Taiwan,which is a country of small island,but important for economy in Asia.I live in a place full of cute cultures.And people can have life of freedom and connect to the world well. Therefore, a lot of things is possible for me,which I feel myself lucky to live here and really want to show to international friends.
Outwards,I need travel always though I haven't had chance to visit so many places. Because traveling is a nice way for me to read and refresh myself.Since I participated some international activities, I start to discover the world by myself, which is really important and interesting for me.I also found myself enjoying history and nature when I visit different places and meet different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Life can be discovered and experienced in different ways, and without prejudice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During couchsurfing, I really want to enjoy and get to know places and people around the world,which can be more different from what I have known since now. I think this is a good way for life to have changes and sharing experiences, which make it more wonderful and not just to be limited to our near environment.
At the same time while I get into knowing a place well, it will be also a nice way to introduce Taiwan with really cute cultures and people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couchsurfing experience when I visited the city Prague in Czech Republic.Prague is a very beautiful and historical everywhere.
During my stay with my first couchsurfing host,I get to know the culture here with life of Czech people, books, movies, songs,and history,making me feel like I am experiencing how the country it is and discovering it not just as a tourist who is really hard to get deep into the culture. From the first experience, I think I also collect really nice friends who have similarity in some way that we can discuss and share a lot.
For me, Prague is very beautiful even though people think it's not so friendly. However it's always wonderful memory for me not only because of the historical city, but also it's part of me in Prague when I always remember the time I spent with my sweet friend.

Interests

I like singing no matter where I am and what I am doing. I like movies because I like stories,but except for horror movies:P
I like discovering by experiencing.
Therefore I like travel and collect pictures of different views,natures,and architectures,which is also one of the way for me to discover a place. Also I like to visit museums especially for art and history.Shopping is also one of my favorite things when I discover a new place,from local markets,streets to big shopping street, which gives me surprise all the time.
Additionally,I like to cook and collect different cooking skills from different people. For me,cooking is like to realize ideas and creativity. And it's also very nice to share time cooking with friends that try different food with different ideas and maybe from different cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies that touch people no matter it's about love, history,philosophy or other topics. There are some of my favorite ones like American Beauty, Breakfast on Pluto,Ratatouille,The Time Traveler's Wife,Burlesque. I like music with all kinds,especially fresh songs,or some old classic songs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The amazing things I have ever done is that when I participated workcamp in Czech,I live next to the castle and live with other volunteer friends from different countries. For life there, we help each for our daily life like cooking and setting up everything.And we also do a lot of wonderful and crazing things together such as that we had a adventure in the forest during the night with local volunteers,or we put the music and dance all together in the house.
Another amazing thing is that when I had graduation trip with friends. We were guided by local people to jump into the sea from the top since it's possible for people to be floated in that sea. And it's also my first experience to jump into the sea!

Teach, Learn, Share

As I have mentioned, I like cooking, and I enjoying collect recipes from people with different ideas or different cultures. And I would like to learn more history when I meet people from different country, which could also give me more deep or different point of views from the media or books. Of course as a Chinese native speaker, I can also teach people who wants to learn Chinese or interested in picking up some Chinese.
