About Me

ABOUT ME

Thanks for reviewing my profile. I was born and raised in Taipei city, the nearest MRT (metro) station to my home is Songjiang Nanking, which is in the city center and is easy to travel around Taipei. My home has an empty room but that will be available when my brother is working overseas. Please check in advance. There are many hot springs in Taiwan. I highly recommend you to visit Taiwan during winter. It is great to enjoy hot spring and delicious Taiwanese food. :)

ADD FRIENDS

Important! Please send me a message before requesting me as friend so we can have better understanding to each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The "six degrees" concept moved me a great deal so I would like to see if any wonderful experience would happen in my life by getting to know new friends starting from non-relationships. Don't get me wrong, my idea is just as simple as what I said. Friends for life seems easier and manageable. :)

In addition, I don't regard couchsurfing as free hotel. That's why I usually book the hotel much earlier before traveling and still would like to meet somebody when I arrive there. However, if you are unable to chat or spend time with me and just simply offer me a place to stay, I'm totally okay with that.

Interests

My interests are traveling, photography, movies, music, workout, swimming and learning new languages. I usually have two long vacations each year, one is during summer, and the other in Chinese New Year holidays.

Music, Movies, and Books

Country music is my favorite as well as R&B. All genres of movies are worthy to be seen and I sometimes just love the sci-fi more without any reason.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Several years ago, my family and I went to Japan in winter, and we enjoyed the hot spring outside. Watching snow falling on my face was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a qualified Chinese teacher and having students around the world since the teaching is through internet. Language is charming and important that our history couldn't be recorded in a proper way without it.
