Overview
About Me
Instagram: supermei_travel
I've been using Couchsurfing since 2009, as half of "Mei and Evan". I created this profile for when I travel by myself. You can see more of my references in the profile of "Mei and Evan": https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/mei_and_evan
I was born and raised in Kaohsiung, Taiwan as a pretty studious and regular person, until I studied abroad for 9 months in the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon (Uh-huh). It changed my life, and my life has been crazier and crazier ever since. I'm not planning on tuning it down anytime soon, or ever.
I really believe in the Couchsurfing community and a lot of friends that I would call good friends were made through this community. My partner, Evan, and I have been active in hosting and surfing since 2009, and we were the organizers of the Couchsurfing meetup in Kaohsiung, Taiwan for around 2 years (2013-2014).
I lived in the US for around 4 years until I started to work remotely in 2018. I have been working remotely for around a year, and I took this chance to see Southeast Asia, Canada, and I intend to see the whole Americas!
I love to be around people and I love hearing all about what they are willing and have time to share with me. I have almost no secrets and I love people who can be as open to me!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love people and I love traveling! I love sharing random encounters and adventures with people I meet on the road!

Teach, Learn, Share
I like to talk about educations in different countries and how they affect kids as they grow up. I also like to talk about learning languages and share funny/intense stories about culture shock, language barriers and misunderstandings. I love cooking a good meal for my hosts, with some wine or some beer. :) I can teach you Mandarin Chinese, and I would like to learn your language, your cultures, and your life stories!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Cooking, Mandarin Chinese, and my passion for life!
