About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel inside the deepest of mind.

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveler or you can say I'm addicted to travel!

I think there is always something like fate that brings people together so I cherish the time that I have with every single person who came into my life. The fact that we are able to meet with each other is simply a miracle.

I am currently studying Translating and Interpreting master degree in Newcastle.

PHILOSOPHY

If you never try, you will never know.

When you really want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've stayed with some of the couch hosts in different cities, and have showed a few travelers around Taipei as well. The experiences I've had so far were all great!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met some really nice people during my traveling with CS! I'd say couch surfing can be the most exciting part of a journey!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
All those Ang Lee Movies. The Life of Pi is a brilliant masterpiece. I also like the aesthetics in movies directed by Wong Kar-Wai. I love most of the Hollywood movies and stars. p.s Harry Potter series made my dream came alive on screen.

Music:
Not a fan of electric music. Worked with many masters in the world of classical music, but never really understand it. I prefer a much softer, more comfortable and leisure type of music. ex Jack Jonson, Jason Mraz, and May Day of course.

Books:
I love all kinds of navels. Aside from Chinese writers, some of my favorite books are: The Alchemist, Gone with the wind, Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea, One hundred years of solitude, There Is No Me without You. Banana yoshimoto's okoku (kingdom) series, and many others.
I also like adventure stories with fantasy such as Harry Potter ( My life long favorite since childhood) and the Lord of the rings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*Jetty jumping ( I'm a really bad swimmer)
*Rode 20km bike up and down hills to find a creek- so tired that I could barely ride back XD
*Rode bike and snorkeling around Rottnest Island by myself! Great great experience!
