Hello, my name is Karen!! I'm 24 years old and was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan🇹🇼.

Pronounce: she, her, hers (Yes I’m just a girl with super short haircut😎)

I got my dual bachelor degrees in film and theatre at National Taiwan University of Arts. I'm outgoing, passionate, enthusiastic and interested in almost everything. I enjoy having any kinds of conversation with different kinds of people, it allows me to see the world in different angles.

I love sports. Here are some kinds that I normally do: Basketball, swimming, bouldering, running, tennis and diving. 🏀🏊🏃‍♀️🧗‍♀️🎾🤸🏻‍♂️

Enjoy meetups in Taipei with couchsurfers from all over the world 🌎

Here are some beliefs I hold deeply in my heart:

Always try to seek discomfort instead of staying in my comfort zone.
Stranger is just another friend I haven’t met.
Remain spontaneous and flexible during the trips.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always believe that travelling is the best way to see the world and to make friends. I love to meet strangers just because I enjoy the randomness and spontaneousness of stepping out of my comfort zone and not knowing what is going to happen.

Remember, stranger is just another friend you haven’t met!
