I’m Jerry, an optimistic and energetic person, loving bringing happiness to others and exploring the world. For me, Trying new things is really important. Because of it, I have energy and motivation to go forward. On the other hand, people from different places are just like windows, which make me see more beautiful things. The psychologist, Adler said that only when contributing to others, people could feel their own value. And I think the way I contribute to the world is to meet people and interact with them.

In addition, when interacting with others, what’s most surprising is that I can feel I’m new again because of culture shock. For example, the different ways Chinese and Korean express, and how frequently Taiwanese use ”Thank you!”,comparing to other countries. Thus, I expect to meet others to enrich myself.

我是Jerry，個性樂觀、活潑，我喜歡帶給別人歡樂，也愛探 索未知的世界。對我來說，嘗試新鮮事是一個很重要的事情，他能夠帶給我活力，使我有動力繼續向前。而遇見新的人，則帶給我一扇窗，去看見不同的世界。心理學家阿德勒說，人只有在對別人有貢獻時，才能找到自己的價值。我想，與不同的人相遇，並與他們交流，是我對世界共同體付出的最佳方式，我也在這之中尋找自己的位置。
而在與人互動時，最令我驚奇的是，我能看見全新的自己。例如：華語與韓語的表達方式的不同、台灣比起其他國家是如何頻繁地使用「謝謝」。文化差異每每讓我覺得自己煥然一新。也因此，我更加期待去遇見新朋友，藉由認識他們來開闊自己的眼界！

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use cs because I expect a deep interaction. I think people who use cs must be like me. They usually like adventure and exploration. If we have an opportunity to meet, we can exchange our idea, eating delicious food, be close to nature. In all, I can’t miss this opportunity to meet others and to introduce my beautiful hometown, Taiwan. To trust a stranger is a beautiful thing, and to introduce myself also makes me happy.

我上這個網站是因為我期待與他人有深入交流。我想，會使用這個網站的人，應該也是像我一樣，喜歡冒險、探索未知的事物。如果我們透過這個網站而有見面的機會，我們就可以交流彼此的想法，我們可以一起吃好吃的東西，一起親近大自然，或是討論彼此國家的人們的生活方式。無論如何，我都覺得我必須把握這個機會，認識他人，也帶領別人認識我美麗的家鄉──台灣！能夠信任陌生人是一件美好的事，能夠介紹自己的文化也很令人開心，這就是我使用這個網站的原因。

Interests

I like watching Korea dramas, reading books, jogging and nature. In Taiwan, Korea dramas are prevailing. I like them so much so I learn Korean. I have learned it for two years. I dream of speaking fluently with Korean people. I also like jogging and stalking, they make me healthy and be in a good mood.

我喜歡看韓劇、讀心靈書籍、慢跑，與親近自然。在台灣，韓劇是很流行的，我也是因為韓劇才認識韓國，開始學習韓語。我已經學習韓語兩年了，我總夢想有一天，我能夠用流利的韓語與韓國人交流。其次，我喜歡看心靈書籍是因為他們會提醒我要多元地思考。不盡然正確，卻是我在感到困惑時，能夠指引方向的明燈。我也喜歡慢跑，因為這是一場與自己的競賽，除了使身體健康，也鍛鍊了我的意志力。最後，我愛呼吸新鮮空氣，去公園或森林裡散步，或去名勝古蹟走走看看。

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Taiwanese singer, A-Lin. Her songs always keep company with me when I’m sad.

我喜歡台灣歌手A-Lin，他的歌曲總是非常正向，帶我從低潮中走出來。

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once go to the eastern part of Taiwan on my own. I ride a motorcycle on the sea-crossing bridge to see the blue sea in my dream.

我曾經一個人到台灣東部旅行五天。一個人騎著機車，在跨海大橋上狂飆，只為去看那片嚮往中的藍色的海。

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m good at swimming. We can go to swimming pool together, I can teach you.

我會游泳，我們可以去游泳池練習。我們也可以一起去唱KTV，我可以分享唱歌的技巧。我也會一些基礎的爵士鼓。

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happiness. Because when I face new things, I’ll feel really happy. And I will share the good feelings with others. Of course, I’m willing to share my life in Taiwan and how I interact with my friends and family. I think these experiences are interesting.

快樂。因為我覺得我在接觸新事物的時候，會感到非常快樂，我會跟別人分享我所體驗到的那些美好的感覺。當然，我也很樂於分享我在台灣的生活，還有我跟我的家人朋友是怎麼互動的。我覺得每個地方人們的互動方式都不同，因此這樣的分享是很有趣的。
