Hey there! I am Michi 米琪, a German Business Student and Travel Agent interested especially in traveling, languages and social media marketing. I have been to over 40 countries all over the world - love new adventures, tasting "different" food and get to know countries through the eyes of locals. A big part of my life was living in Taiwan as a Rotary exchange student when I was 16, since then I fell in love with Asia and Mandarin. I am polite, always ready to help and keep cultural differences in mind while traveling. Looking forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I already loved Airbnb for getting to know how people are living in other countries, but you never really get to know the hosts. I hope this can be different here

Music, Movies, and Books

Actually nearly anything thats Taiwanese, American or Chinese, especially when it comes to TV Series, Movies or Music.

林俊傑，華晨宇，鄧紫棋， 張碧晨，盧廣仲，五月天，周杰倫，韋禮安，周興哲，畢書盡，蘇打綠，楊丞琳，小豬...

Ed Sheeran, Linkin Park, Eminem, The Script, The Chainsmokers, Sungha Yung, Piano Brothers...

Ellen DeGeneres Show, TED Talks, actually anything thats about sharing information about serious world topics and history, no matter if funny or dramatic and damn sad. I love to get the world as a whole, and not only focus on the pretty and happy things in life - even though I am a sunshine girl

And last but not least: Game of Thrones, Anne with an E, Cable Girls, Outlander, Vampire Diaries , Big Bang Theorie, When I met your Mother, Intouchables, The theory of everything, Palms in the Snow, Beasts of no Nation, The last King of Scotland, Finding Home,...

If you can help me buy the Japanese Movie 'We can' t change the world, but we wanna build a school in Cambodia', I'd love you to the moon and back and kiss you a thousand times. I am looking for it for over 6 years now and can't find it, not even when I went to Japan........

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with Mantas in Indonesia, backpacking alone in Japan, living in Taiwan as an Exchange Student and Intern, and sooo much more...just tell me about which country you'd like to hear a great story, and I'll see if I can tell you one ️

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a sunshine kind of girl, always polite, open-minded but honest, helpful and willing to share anything I know. There's nothing you can't talk about with me, even when it comes to sensitive political or cultural questions. I am sure we'll have a fun time together!
