Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Why I travel?
I want to know how others live their life, and also want to find other possibility in my own life. From different culture sharing, maybe it will inspire me something. (I am wondering what I really want to do now.)
Besides, I also want to know what can really make me enjoy in it and which could be developed to be my career. That is why I force myself to go for a 27-days-independent travel. This is the first time in my life to travel alone so far.
Why I CS?
Because one of my ex-colleague encourage me to use it when she know my travel plan. She told my that this is one of the best way to deeply know the local life. So, let's give it a try! :)
Why I choose central Europe?
To be honest, some of my friends in Austria will host me in my journey. They were my classmates in Taiwan.(Yes. I got a Global MBA degree in Taiwan with some foreigner classmates.) It makes me think it is a good place to be my first step.
Other important info of mine:
