Hi everyone :D ,

My name is Jeffrey, I currently live in Richfield, Minnesota and work in banking.

I would describe myself as very shy and reserve but also very intelligent and curious. I have had the opportunity to visit Colombia where my mother and father are from many times as a kid and this sowed the seed for my curiousity. While studying for my bachelors degree I had the chance to study abroad in Taiwan for a whole year. I look back at this time and think they were some of the best times of my life so far, I really want to try to relive or recapture that magic I had back then.

I grew up in Sanford, N.C. a small farming town where I did things such as hunting, hiking, and hunting fireflies. I come from a simple upbringing living with just my mother and little sister but I have ambition to make something of my life.

If you want to chat with me don't hesitate : D I'm much braver chatting online than in person, at least till I get to know you haha.

我是Jeffrey,我中文名字是唐福德。 我五月要去台灣！ 我特別期待去台灣。 我想認識台灣人。 我以前住在台灣，最近桃園市。我很愛台灣文化和台灣小吃。 如果你是台灣人請你送送我訊息啦！我很很很想跟你旅行和玩。 我中文不太好，不好意思你不看得懂。 哭哭

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reason I'm couchsurfing is to meet friends and travel hosts. For me, it is not about having a place to stay. I can easily pay for a hotel or hostel but I really want to make connections with people and experience life with them.

Before I left to live in Taiwan as an exchange student I had the honor of meeting a Taiwanese family in Taipei. They hosted me for a month and they became my family and I became like their son. We went to the south for Chinese New Year and got to see how Taiwanese people live. Even after I moved away we stay in touch and visit each other all the time. This kind of experience is impossible to get from a hotel and hostel.
