Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I bicycled around France for 4 months and had an unreal time with the friends I met through Couchsurfing and random encounters. Now I'm Taiwan.
I've got two roommates. One is a student and wakes up early, while the other is an English teacher like myself and works around 1pm. I work a little bit later at 5pm so, depending on what kind of traveller you are I can guide you around or whatever. I'm pretty laid and you can do whatever you want, but be conscious of tired roommates.
Our neighbourhood is the old city of Kaohsiung. Our apartment is nestled between a mountain on one side and a small harbour on the other. Its a 10 minute walk from the MRT, cijin harbour ferry, Martyr shrine and Sun Yet Sen University.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a few spots in France, and when I have a couch in Taiwan I will be open for business!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched fireworks from the top of an abandoned 20 story Malt Silo on Toronto's lakeshore. I cycled over 2700 kilometers one summer in France, wearing sandals the whole time.
