I consider myself a "third culture kid," meaning I grew up in several different places. I was born in Taiwan. I was raised in China, Denmark, and The Netherlands. Through my "grown-up" years, I lived in England and United Arab Emirates (Dubai) as well. I came back to Denmark to study and now I work with University Startups in Copenhagen.

I'm living about 25km from Copenhagen in a small village but with brilliant train connections (see home section). There is also free street parking.

Please note that I am very busy so I might not have time to hang out especially on week days. Therefore it might be better suited for a pair of friends or a couple.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I started using it while I was backpacking for a year and I couchsurfed in every country and loved every bit of it. When I moved to Denmark, I decided to host in order to give back to the community.
