@About me / Sobre mí@
I am very extroverted, easygoing and talkative. I enjoy traveling and learning, and like to share stories, chat with people to embark on a dynamic conversation. Everyday exploration, discovery, and learning for maturing is my enjoyable way of living. 😁

I am also very optimistic, joyful and peaceful. Walking, reading, chilling, yoga, meditation, backpacking, nature, hiking, music, movies, cuisines, languages, meeting new friends, sharing cultures, stories, values and moralities, and learning from others are all my interests. 😊

I believe, via traveling, reading and meditation, one treads toward infinity.

Soy muy extrovertido, amistoso y conversador. Me gusta viajar y aprender y compartir las historias y charlar con los demás para compartir una buena conversación. En todos los días, el explorar y descubrir y aprender es mi manera favorita para vivir la vida. 😁

Y soy una persona muy optimista, alegre y tranquila también. El caminar, leer, relajar, hacer yoga y meditación, ser un mochilero, subir montañas, la naturaleza, músicas, películas, gastronomía, idiomas, conocer a amigos nuevos, compartir culturas, historias, ideas, y aprender de los demás, todos son mis intereses. 😊

Creo que por viajar, leer y meditar, uno anda a la infinidad.

>>My Stories / Mis Historias<<
4 years ago, I left Taiwan and started my travel. I did a working holiday in Canada for 16 months, volunteereering (wwoofing) on a few farms, and then worked part-time and full-time at several different locations.
After Canada, I went to the U.S, hitchhiked, couchsurfed and camped the whole way from Seattle down to San Diego.
After USA, I did my journey around Latin America from Guatemala via the west coast down to Chile for a year.
Then I traveled to Western Europe and did some small trips around.
Before heading back to Taiwan, I spent a few months in Rishkesh, India doing Yoga and Meditation teacher training program. ☺️

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Backpacking and hitchhiking have already changed my life, and yet I believe, couchsurfing makes a journey even deeper!
Besides, instead of staying in youth hostels, I would love to immerse myself in experiencing the real local life with new friends and hosts, and also sharing the stories and learning together.
