About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Walk every land on the earth, speak every language of the world, drink every kind of beers of the countries!!

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, easy-going and open-minded person who love traveling a lot. I have conquered more than 20 countried in the world by my legs and it is still continued. Also, I like to communicate with local people where I visit. Just like a sponge, I try hard to absorb the different points of views and norms of the cultures and then I gain more from them. It not only broaden my mind but also fresh my brain.

Then CS is just the right place for cultural sharing. It is always make me feel so excited when I contact a new person, a new culture, a new point of view, cause usually I learned more from the others.

Ya! Couch surfing forever!!

PHILOSOPHY

I do what I said, It's me, stripped.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, usually I hope to stay in the same host at least two days, because I want to spend time with my host and know the person more. It is also a good way to know some secret "insider" information of the city.

Food is also one of the most common way of cultural sharing, so usually I'll ask the host to cook together and having some "international" food!!

Moreover, I try hard to share CS experience and this awesome webpage to my friends. I absolute believe that it is more fun to travel with meeting local people instead of traveling in group with tavel agency.

If someone has a chance to visit Taiwan, I can show you around, or at least have a coffee with you.

I've couchsurfed with a lot of people since I attended this project in Aug/2008. It makes me so surprised that you always can meet people who really want to help you even though you haven't met each other before!! The intimacy between people is one of the magic of the universe.

There was once of time I couchsurfed in Paris,
the host sent me a confirm mail and I replied it. However, the system didn't sent it automatically to my host's mailbox, so he think I would not coming. As I showed up in front of the host's door, his mates are really surprised and astonished. The wrost is that the host was not home then, so no one knew what happened. Nevertheless, they still invite me to stay in their place and I stay with them for 4 nights. Is it amazing!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Any kind of music: Pop, Jazz, classical, new age and any others. I think it's not depend on what kind of the music it is, but depends on it is a good music or not.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped into the lake and swam to cross it with my best friend when we were graduated from college.(Well, I know it sounds nothing ,but ,trust me, it's a really dirty pool, you even can find some unexpect stuff inside,eg. a bike!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I wanna know the difference between the nations, the cultures, even the individuals. It was always open my mind and broaden my horizon when I met a new person or arrived a new place. Their is always something new you can learn.
