ABOUT ME

I may look a bit cold but I'm actually quite funny, thoughtful and open-minded.
I'm a Chinese English translator/interpreter but at the moment I work as a project manager at an event company, turning my crazy (and creative ideas) into life.
I am a book worm, film buff and an avid dancer.
I do Salsa, tribal bellydance, and also in for some proper clubbing. (if the music's good!), If you're one of those dance people, we'll most likely get along :)
I'm always thirst for knowledge, curious to take on an adventure and willing to explore and meet new people/culture.
I love traveling and hope to get out at least once a year.

PHILOSOPHY

Live to the fullest, enjoy the moment and never stop loving and learning!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Summer of 2011 I had my first epic CS trip in Europe, met with so many kind and interesting people. Now I host people in Taipei to give back to the community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my very 1st couchsurfing experience in Malaysia.

Backpacked around Europe (summer 2011) for 2.5 months alone and couchsurfed in 2/3 cities I stayed in. What a way to travel and get to know all the interesting people, love it!

I have written my dissertation on the topic of Couchsurfing and Couchsurfer thanks to the help and kindness from my fellow CSers. It's a wonderful community and I'd like to keep the good vibe going :)
