Hello! I am a selfstudying (homeschool) student from Taipei, Taiwan. I'm currently taking a gap year from finishing high school. I hope travelling will expand my worldview and connect me with people who have different backgrounds and stories (yes that's you!) I love pizza 🍕 and shaved ice

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to find a more genuine way of connecting with different people and their culture, one that is more meaningful than the tourist approach to travel.

Interests

I know, looks like quite a random list, but I can engage in discussions on each of these topics for hours on end :)

• writing
• cooking
• traveling
• languages
• digital art
• cognitive science

Music, Movies, and Books

Music? I love electronic dance music, but classical music or music from the game Deemo is what I go for when studying.

Favorite books:
- Never let me go / Kazuo Ishiguro
- The ocean at the end of the lane / Neil Gaiman.
- Catching Fire / Suzzane Collins

Favorite movie:
- Inception

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Telling my parents, "I have something to tell you tomorrow, at breakfast."
The next day: "I am quitting school."

The amazing thing is that they believed in me, and allowed me to apply to homeschooling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my culture and background, how I selfstudy, and maybe teach you a few simple phrases of the languages I have learned!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help with chores, offer a helping hand in the kitchen, draw a portrait of your cat, or offer you a very good reading list / podcast playlist to devour. Or we can simply relax, exchange ideas and questions, and share some interesting conversations. Let's have a good time together!
