ABOUT ME
Hi awesome CSers, if you want to write a couchrequest to me, please make sure you have read "My Home", and go to check "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION" in "My Home", you will find something important there, thanks.
Due to my tight schedule and personality, I cherish every chance I have when using Couchsurfing. And because of all sort of reasons, statistically speaking, only 10%(or less) of couchrequests will be accepted eventually(when everything works out for both sides). I don't mean I am special or popular, I just don't want to waste your time reading the info and writing a request "if you only want to have a free accommodation or you don't care who you are going to stay with". I highly appreciate anyone who looks into my profile and writes a decent request, but please don't feel bad if the answer is negative, it's also very hard for me to decline good requests, only when I really can not offer a stay.
OK...now something about me...
My faith is the most important thing to me.
I love Taiwan so much, and I want to share the spirit with all of you.
I don't like to exposure of myself on the internet, same on Facebook, so I don't fill all the blanks in detail. Also, I prefer you to find out more about me by yourself.
Anyway, let's briefly introduce myself:
I'm a person with a passionate heart, who loves any kind of new things and willing to try them.
Actually, I don't love this world itself(bad things) but the people. That is so good to meet and know more new friends without benefits and money things in the between.
I am talkative but sometimes love to be quiet and think. I cherish and enjoy my life, try to be a better person day by day.
PHILOSOPHY
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, always facing the bright side.
We just have one chance to live, so I seize the moment and try to do things that I won't regret in the future.

Taroko online application :
For Taroko park

For going into the mountains
https://nv2.npa.gov.tw/NM103-604Client/
(for some trails, you will need to have both permits as presented above, like for Zhuliu Old Road, you will need both. I think the second one is only in Chinese. You will need to apply the first one online in advance for sure, but for the second one, is also available to apply on arrival at the police station at Taroko tourist center.)
I highly recommend "錐麓古道 Zhuilu Old Road", make sure to do the online application 3 days in advance.
Professional bike rental service from Giant :

(I'm simply providing information here, and I think it is pretty good and convenient to travel around Taiwan by cycling. And this company provides a service just for that demand. Please message me if you need more information.)

Couchsurfers in Class:
This is a project to know Taiwan more locally and to make your stay in Taiwan more memorable and meaningful. By going into the classroom and interacting with Taiwanese students, you can proudly introduce your country and culture to those who are eager to experience the world. Thus, you will also meet a local person(mostly teacher) who can host or show you around. Check out more info below!
