Hey there, I'm Jocelyn!
I grow up in Taiwan and currently work in the U.S. as a language teacher in a liberal arts college. I’m very open-minded. As a teacher, I have chance to meet students from different backgrounds. I love this kind of dynamic in class and I’m more like a friend to them.

I believe in human goodness and I embrace every piece of memory given by this beautiful world!

**Traveling in Europe and going back to Asia this summer so I won’t be able to host surfers until September**

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why not? I love traveling and making friends all over the world. It's always interesting to share stories, experiences and culture with each other.

Interests

Enjoy lifting weights and (try to) eating health. Big foodie.
I love art, especially classical art. I’m also very into museums and bookstores, where are my must-go places every city/town I visit.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm such a movie lover and bookaholic, so I just have too many favorites!
Just to name some: Moonlight/ Schindler’s list/ Memento/ Cloud Atlas/ Amélie/ Leon the Professional/ The Lobster/ Shoplifters/ A Taxi Driver
I also watched most of the marvel movies :p

Every time when people ask me about my favorite movie I can give them a long list!!! In general I prefer drama movies cuz they usually promote deeper thoughts and reflections. (Yes I’m a deep thinker!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ate a whole jar of Nutella one afternoon......😋

Teach, Learn, Share

Language for sure! I’m a language teacher. I can give you a quick useful small lesson.
I also cook quite often. If you happen to like Chinese food, I can definitely share some home recipes.
