About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Annica

ABOUT ME

I'm living in beautiful Taiwan in Kaohsiung!!! So lucky :)
I love Taiwan - it's people, nature and food of course.
I have many travel stories so if you are thinking of visiting a country I might be able to help ;)

I'm a vegetarian so hopefully that won't turn you off hosting me (I'm not fussy ...I can always find rice and noodles here). I love all the vegetarian options Taiwan has - so spoilt!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed in many different countries and hosted in Australia. I might be able to host in Taiwan if you come to Kaohsiung ;) (but I only have a couch in the common room)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was surprised by incredibly generous some strangers can be - it reassures me the world is a beautiful place!

Many couchsurfers I have met have opened my mind and refreshing...
