I am from Taiwan, which is a country at Asia. Someone get mistakes with China. Even though we use the same language, we are not the same. Please don't call me Chinese. Well, someone might question my nationality, because it said Taiwan Provence, Republic of China, it is about ROC and PRC's history, if you are curious I am happy to tell you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love travelling!
I always do budget travel, so I usually book the hostels or airbnb. Because this year is my last gap year, I want to know more different cities people, we can get together having a talking, meal, sharing each life experience and so on.
Unfortunately, I am a au-pair now, so I can't share my host family's sofa for you. That is I feel so sorry. But when I go back Taiwan, I will welcome everyone!!

Interests

I enjoy every travelling, and I also enjoy music.
When I was in Taiwan, I went to watch music lives often. I think music is a big part of my life even though I could not play any instruments. I prefer to see dramas than movie, because as I was seeing the performance I could felt the actors feeling, skills, the stage setting and so on, everything was real and so close to me at the moment.
If I had a long holiday I arrange my trip on abroad.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like pop music especially J-pop and K-pop. I don't have the favorite movie, but I have the favorite musical which is Les Miserable. I don't have favorite books, but I like read mystery fictions or suspense fictions. If you like Japanese writer also like freaky fictions, I recommend a writer who is called 乙一(OTSUICHI).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gave up my good job at Taiwan, and come to my gap year. In Asia, gap year is not so common idea though it become popular among young adults. For Asian, I am not quite young, most people thought I should have a job, and have a smooth life at my age. However, I quit my job and came to the UK with my poor English.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Chinese of course, a little bit Japanese and Korean, and now I am learning English. If you are interesting in Asia's culture, I am glad to share with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my travelling experiences, some Asian culture as well. I have lived in Korea for a while, I can tell you some different life culture about us. Also, I went to Japan foe several times, and I can share my view point with you. Oh, if you want to solo-travel or backpack-travel in Asia but you are not sure which city is the first start, I recommend "Bangkok".
