Hi I am originally from Taipei, Taiwan, but also lived in US(Hawaii) and Japan for abt 20 yrs. Because my abroad experiences, I have a quite mixed ways of thinking things. (Sometimes very western, sometimes quite Japanese or Taiwanese)

I have also traveled to 22 countries. My travel style is always to try to meet the local people and learn and experience the real authentic culture from them. There are just so many wonderful things, interesting places, delicious food the local can teach you which are not on the guidebooks or internet.

If you come to Taiwan, I will love to have a cup of coffee or beer to learn from your stories and of course share mine. Depending on the time, I might also be able to show you around some interesting local spots and delicious local food. Please always feel free to drop me a msg when you plan to come to Taiwan :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanna make new friends from all over the world and learn their cultures. I want to learn the real authentic local people's life, what do they eat, their traditions, and how do they think about the world.

I am still new to Couchsurfing, but I have lots of experiences staying at friends' house with their family in many different countries. I am always respectful to each country and family's culture and tried to learn many local things from and also share my stories. I m very excited and look forward to making more interesting friends on CS :)
