Travelling, based in Taipei Taiwan for the time being

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my first long stay in a foreign country many years ago (Japan), I learned the value of hospitality, how important it is to feel welcome, and especially by locals. Just trying to give back.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't value short stays. You truly learn from traveling by staying weeks and months, meeting locals and embrace the difference. Traveling is not about finding your comfort zone while away from home. This is what my traveling is about. For 90% of the places I've been to, I have a special bound to that place and it's not just a tick next to a country name. Ask me about it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages
Can have hour-long conversations about anything I have interest in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What matters the most is the experience. Though I'm obviously not local, I know my city well enough, be it for the sights, things to do and party spots. I'm relaxed and up to anything new. I'm hoping to gain a lot from this experience as well as to share my own experiences.
