Hi! I'm from Taiwan but have been living in the US for the past four years. I recently graduated from university and am now working as a teacher.

I am an open and friendly person. I love listening to people's stories and sharing. I love traveling, exploring different places, and meeting people from different backgrounds. I love the outdoors- surfing, running, hiking, and now I'm learning to climb.

Hola! Me llamo Katy. Soy de Taiwan pero ya he vivido en EEUU por 4 años. Estoy trabajando como una profesora de ingles, historia y chino en un colegio en Boston.

Soy una persona amable y abierta. Me encanta escuchar a historias de otras personas y compartir. Me gustan viajar y conocer a gente de rumbos diferentes. Me gusta también pasar tiempo afuera- surfear, correr, caminar y aprender escalada.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and listen to their stories! I am always fascinated by the different ways people live their life, and I think traveling is such a special way of bringing people together. I want to learn about a place the way the locals see it, the way locals live life.

Me encanta mucho conocer a gente de rumbos diferentes y compartir historias. Me interesa aprender modas de vida diferentes, culturas, historias, artes, deportes, comidas de lugares diferentes.
