Nerdish. Close with social actives in Taiwan. I'm open and easy to be with. Tend to be sarcastic at times (but I can always tone it down. ) I am not a fan of fancy places, overly decorated or too well formatted places creep me out. I enjoy the rough and raw.

Currently living in Kuwait for learning arabic language. Kuwait is a country where alcohol is illegal. (It's pretty hard for me cause back then I drink massive. Yes Massive. ) Anyways, a lot of social norms are totally different from where I grew up at. But it's not necessarily a bad thing, being exposed here challenged me on a lot of aspects on living, religion and gender norms.

I love skateboarding, reading, movies and theatre drama plays.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing feels like the non-dating version of Tinder. To be honest, I hate it when people put scarlet letter on this kind of dating app. I love it for it brings spontaneosity to our lifes.

I always like the moment of meeting people, it's romantic to me. Either it's introduced by mutual friends, or just because you were reading the same book on the train. Too bad we fell into norms and build up our walls to often. Once we got our safe circle we stay in and be comfortable. Then we're limited to what we already knew.

That's one of the reason why I love traveling. Everything is new. You have to experience yourself to know. It's momentary experience, because you know that you'll ultimately leave. Knowing that, we start to make the most of what we've got.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

published a book aiming to preserve the history of one important historical event in Taiwan, and provide another point of view for the public discussion

He was 80 and he witnessed the day when the governmental troop starts shooting at crowd that was comprised by ordinary people.
After the meeting, he told me with his voice trembling, " In your article, can you not mention me. Not my name. Not the place I work at. Not the place I'm from"

That was the moment I realize how important politics is. How much it get to fuck with people's mind and their life. I couldn't imagine the fear he got. He told this to his family 30 years after, after our country became a democratic one. But still. Up till today, the fear have yet gone.
