I'm a Taiwanese/Canadian student doing my Bachelor's degree in Boston but I'm currently on exchange at Sciences Po Paris for a year. I love good conversation, listening to and sharing personal stories, and having a good laugh!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

During my travels on my exchange year, I've gotten to know so many interesting people whose lives and ways of thinking have given me plenty of inspiration on how I want to live my life, and I'd like to continue to build diverse personal connections on the road to keep inspiring myself!
I also study international affairs in university--travelling and talking to people from different countries has been the best (and def most enjoyable) way to "experience" my studies. I travel not just to be a tourist, but to understand the culture, politics, economics of my destinations as much as I can! I've spent my summers in England, France, the US...etc, and I've fallen in love with those places due to the people I met. Living with and getting to know locals like my host families gave me unique insights and truly opened my eyes to the world!

兴趣

- I'm obsessed with nature and anything active outdoors, such as hiking, running, swimming,
- Having grown up and lived in different countries, I'm curious about different cultures--how different peoples think, live, interact...etc.
- I'm invested in learning about the world I live in, anything related to history or current events piques my curiosity, and while there's more that I don't know than I know about the world, I genuinely enjoy sharing my views and inspiring myself with other opinions!

• outdoor activities
• sports
• history
• international relations
• current events
• culture exchange

音乐、电影和书籍

I have very terrible, commercial music taste--anything Billboard Top 50. Basically, this just means I'm not picky, so on the flip side, it's very easy to get me hooked on new music if you have a music passion you're dying to spread! However, recently I've been really hooked on the Aussie singer Dean Lewis if you know him!
I mostly read books on history, politics, and current events now, but Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, the Chronicles of Narnia, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Alex Rider......etc. will forever have a special place in my heart :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I biked around the island of Taiwan in a week (around 1100+ kilometers) when I was 14, and climbed the highest mountain of the island (Mt. Jade, ~4000m).

I spent a summer interning at a lens manufacturing company in Myanmar--intense, eye-opening experience seeing how foreign-invested factories work in developing countries.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

My experiences growing up with both Asian(Chinese/Taiwanese) and North-American(Canadian, American) culture, how those have shaped how I see the world, and my experiences in France--I've lived there for a year plus a couple of summers!
