"Life is the art of drawing without an eraser."
"Be a person with stories"

Hi, my name is Ricky, and I am from Taiwan !
I am a very outgoing person, and I love traveling and meeting new friends :)
I study Finance in National Taiwan University, and I am currently an exchange student at The University of Manchester.
I have various kinds of interests(see the following section), and I love chatting with people to exchange thoughts.
I am very willing to share with you my thought and knowledge, no matter if you want to take a peek at my culture, gain an understanding of my language, exchange our values for life, or want to have a chat about the Financial world.

As to the beginning quote, they are my favorite mottos and have inspired me countless times.
All my past experiences, no matter good or bad, have all come together to form the present me. So let me not hold myself back from any possibility, and I will go on living an enjoyable and wonderful life. Hopefully, one day I will reach my goal of becoming " a man with stories to share".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I LOVE meeting new people.
In the past, it is unlikely to meet someone from other countries, but Couchsurfing makes it much easier by offering a fantastic platform with nice people from all around the globe . I have always found chatting with others enjoyable because I can see the world from a different perspective and can also experience different culture. In a nutshell, I am here to make friends ! :)
