About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find a special vegetable seed.

ABOUT ME-
I love to explore and I'm hungry for adventure. I don't like routine, and I adapt easily to any environment I'm introduced to. I have an easygoing persona that is easy to get along with, but I also have a strong and cunning side. I'm not one to follow through with plans. But never lose my lust for life.

I'm 151 cm tall. I try my best to be a vegetarian. I enjoy traveling alone. Sometimes I'm very talkative, sometimes I find nothing to entertainain you and I might bore you to tears. Or you may think there is something wrong with me.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is so good!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Introduce this program to my friends. Visit the web often and try my best to answer member's questions.

I found this web is a super big and super interesting book to read. Some
members upload amazing photos. Lots of their profiles are really inspiring.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Guests:
People come, people go. Some guests come back at 3 am, some leave after midnight. Some equipped with ipad, iphone, nice bikes, some only has a small backpack. A Polish host told me " Guests are angels!" . It's really true!
Hosts:
Every host treats me at his or her best. Some drive me here and there.
Some ferry me. Most of the time I feel I'm treated like a queen! Travelling really changes my life. I always learned something from my trip. The more I travel, the less "desire" I have.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any kind of movie without BANG! BANG! or car crash.
Sometimes I need some kind of noise. Sometimes I love Jazz or blues. Sometimes I begin my day with Japanese songs. ( Taiwan was occupied by Japanese before). Hope you have a chance to enjoy Taiwanese folk songs like: Hakka or Bunun or Paiwan....
Books with beautiful pictures or smells like "perfume" is much easier for me. Reading English is still a big challenge! If you want me to write in English, I am a cripple with words, but I enjoy reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

See my family name on a commercial board spelled in my mother tongue (Taiwanese) in Vietnam. Hear my family name called in Taiwanese in a singapore movie ("Mister Khoo"). It is spelled " Chiu" in Chinese, but "khoo" in Taiwanese!
