"Live intensely, Love intensely. Change the world with your style."

Typical Libra girl,
smiles a lot,
proud of being a taiwanese,
loves sunshine and ocean,
grew up in mountains with tea trees and lakes,
sings and dances all year round,
hopelessly romantic,
prefers letters and skype over emails and texts,
follows her intuitions and heart rather than logic,
believes in kindness so there is no "hate" in her dictionary,
outgoing and friendly most of the time,
lazy but serious at work,
life adventurer and meditation practitioner,
addicted to traveling solo,
short girl with big dreams and plans,
thinks everything in an artistic way,
collects fusion textures colors and patterns as an interior decorator,
asks tons of weird questions,
trying to find a balance between the ephemeral fashion and the everlasting architecture design worlds,
enjoys working with children and developing voluntary projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met a superb couchsurfer Eloi back in 2010 at the Barcelona Pavillion of Shanghai World Expo, then finally started couchsurfing in 2012 on my backpacking trip around Europe and encountered with many interesting people who were kind enough to host me for some nights or take me on trips. I think couchsurfing is a great way to meet the locals and have a closer understanding of the city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Good question... Life is one amazing thing itself! ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you anything Oriental (Chinese/Taiwanese), from dance, medicine theory, language (chinese characters), to meditation (been learning for more than 15 years).

And I hope my guest can exchange with a couple of nice songs, a meal, some nice jokes, or share with me somethings from your language and culture!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My heartwarming smiles :) and perhaps a great share of my knowledge with oriental culture and languages, especially in chinese and taiwanese. or my travel stories. And I'm more than happy to cook or make chinese tea for my hosts!
