*I'm NOT living in Stockholm, I'm traveling here.

************

Hi! My name is Siou-Siang Kou, from Taiwan( NOT Thailand, and we are NOT Chinese), I prefer people just call my nickname Lex.

For complete experience real local life, I took a working holiday (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_holiday_visa) in Canada, I lived there for 14 months during 2015 to 2016. And in 2017 when I travel in Sweden, all the 90 days I almost only by couchsurfing's way, I traveled all over southern Sweden.

I believe traveling by couchsurfing with the locals is the best way to know people from around the world, listen to their stories and learn about their culture. I'd also share ours with them.

I'm a Graphic Designer(freelancer), drawing is one of my hobbies. During my journey when someone host me, or I met some interesting person, I will drawing a manga(comic) portrait for them, it's also my way to keep my memories. Here is some my drawing works for them: https://www.flickr.com/photos/31731417@N06/with/46339228684/

I am also interested comics/manga, anime(Japanese cartoon), movies, series, video game, history stuff, reading.... Yeah, I'm basically is a nerd and geek ^^"

I mainly speak Mandarin, can speak some Japanese, my English not so well, but basic conversation is not a problem.

Looking forward to meet you!

Regards

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For complete experience real local life, make friends with people from other countries. And if I have the ability to provide a suitable environment, I'd love to share my couch to travelers.

For now I only got one bad experience in couchsurfing, I also got a negative reference because that, that's a malicious slander, please also read the reference I wrote for that person, so then you can have a right judgment : http://charnia.pixnet.net/album/photo/695477313-bed-experience.jpg
And somehow couchsurfing.com remove this reference I wrote for that untrustworthy person, that's really so unfair and unjust.
