About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learn new words in different languages

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand in Chinese family .... I have a sister and a brother (both younger). Spent almost 2 years in Colorado, US during High School years, graduated from there and went back to Bangkok for BBA program ... now in Taipei, Taiwan doing MBA (well graduation ceremony was a few weeks back but still working on thesis)

Thesis's defense is schedule sometimes in September, so i'm using the break time for this Europe trip.... turn out to be once in a life time experience, tired but opened my eyes :)

PHILOSOPHY

So many times i look back and feel so blessed of where and who i am today... some friends i feel so close to were once stranger ... but with good timing and location we become friends... and so i think ... STRANGERS ARE FRIENDS WE HAVEN'T MET ... make this world the better place is something hard to grasp or achieve, but with many hands coming together i think one day ... we might make the world a bit of a friendlier place to live :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I learn about the CS from a Mongolian classmate after i decided to go on Europe trip and post on FB that "anyone have spare couch i can crash?" .... and that's how it starts...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

mostly positive... great way to know more people and culture of different countries. Did several during my Europe trip this summer, some staying overs, some just meeting up for coffee/drink or hanging around.

felt like one big group of people with similar believe and love of learning and traveling :)

Interests

many things,
- I like travel and see things, but so far haven't done enough.
- Meet new people and talk (i can be both talkative and quite too .. bi-polar type i suppose)
- Food .. yup that's kinda explain how i gained like 7-8 kg since i got to Taipei (within 2 years)
- Gym ... not like heavy lifting and stuff.... did have personal trainer before, but now it's all dance and enjoy life... stress relieve
- Family & Friends ... i don't think i can live without them
- Smile ... yup .. love to see smile on ppl face ... u can ask me to do goofy things sometimes i would just to make my friends laugh or smile
- Movies ... i love watching movies though sometimes i snooze in between and i don't remember the actors and actresses names .... well say i have bad memory .. hehe
