I'm a Freelancer in video media. I hope to meet friends from around the world and share fun stories of traveling.
I live in new Taipei but My hometown at Yilan city northeast of Taiwan. so not only Taipei. I can also host at Yilan, if when I go back to during the holidays.

I'm practicing English more now.
If u can accept body language that will be great! haha
and i also want to learning more language just like Japanese, German, French and Spanish etc...
I do not know from when that i started want to be a multilingual person, even if my English isn't good. XD
Actually when i speak english too long time and then easy feeling tired. so if i suddenly quiet in sometime. i know it maybe peculiarity or oddball. but don't mind and forgive me. i just at resting ;p

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Actually just like most English beginners that want practicy english at the beginning. and also want to know more people from all over the world. So when i know CS that i know this is i want.
but at right now, I would like to share about the gift economy with more people. so I'm also a host the free market at Yilan. (https://www.facebook.com/yilanfreemaket/)

some people may say their trip is to find their own or "to looking for something different"
but I'd hope to find some common ground.
it may be a constant truth in the world.
Anyway~ Actions speak louder than words
