About Me

Taiwanese-Honduran living in Taiwan (over 7 years). Speak English and Spanish fluently (Chinese is “fluent”, good enough to get a job)

My dad is Taiwanese and my mom is Honduran, so I’m used to eating rice and beans with chopsticks, tofu with mantequilla and spaghetti with Chinese sauces.

Super talkative at first, but can hold a conversation as long as the other person keeps talking.

I’ve been living in Taiwan for a bit over 7 years, but just recently moved to Tainan so we would be exploring Tainan together!

If you’re someone who has a few places in mind, even better. I’m not really a good planner, but I’m a great translator and very flexible (food, lodging and culture).

Nice to have:
- Can talk or be quiet on demand (driving in Taiwan can get hectic sometimes)
- Communicative, if something I do bothers you then let me know haha
- Talkative, spontaneous, willing to try food, good ideas for going out

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At first I thought Couchsurfing was for weirdos, but then I met a girl in college who seemed pretty normal (to be fair, she did shave her head) who was also a surfer! After that, I decided trying this out and it has been pretty good!

I’m pretty new at this, so I’m kind of getting a feel of things and open to anything. Would love to get suggestions or advice!
