About Me

2015: Internship @ Hangzhou
2015: Exchange Student @ Beijing
2016: Exchange Student @ Prague
2017-2019: Expatriate @ Jakarta
2019-2020: Expatriate @ Mumbai

Currently taking my unpaid leave, I'm exploring a bit of South Asia & South East Asia.

First travelled abroad at the age of 20, but is going to travel around the world until lying in the coffin.

The most unforgettable experience of my life, to be certain, is the year I spent as an exchange student in Tsinghua University, Beijing, and the University of Economics, Prague. Between my 2 exchange student semesters, I spent 7 days on the Trans-Siberian, travelling from Asia to Europe, and further more than 10 countries.

Travelling around the world is my life goal, and I will try my best to fulfill my dream.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet the locals, and to interact with different persons.

I always try to stay in a city as long as possible, and to experience what kind of life persons are enjoying.

Couchsurfing provides me with the opportunity and I am always enjoying it.

Interests

Travelling, for me, is one of the most important things in the world. I spend almost all my money on traveling, which includes food, transportation, accomodation, and so on. Other things, such as fashion wearings, accessories, 3C products mean little for me, but I still care about wearing nearly and traveling comfortably with my wearings. Moreover, I always bring a book with me when traveling, it makes me feel safe and can make me grow up in my traveling leisure time.

When I am not traveling, I have to excercise routinely in order to "feel comfortable". I was a cheerleader when I was in high school and college, and now I enjoy hiking, jogging, and working out. Since that, I also care about living healthily, having a healthy diet, and trying to sleep early. Although the longevity of my life doesn't matter to me, I would like to live healthily and be able to travel around the world until I die.

I also love to watch baseball, basketball, and tennis games.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled around Taiwan by bicycle, most of the time being alone.

Swam across Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan with my high school friends.

Took the Trans-Siberian from Vladivostok to Moscow, and then to Saint Petersburg in winter.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love the diversity of the world, and that's what movitates me to travel a much as I can.

Cultural differences is one of the most fascinating for me, and I always love to share the Asian culture to my host.

Not only for my home country, Taiwan's history, politics, and lifestyle, etc. I can also talk about the countries that I ever lived in!
