Hi,

this is Sharpay from Taiwan. Now I'm an exchange student in Navarra, Spain. After I go back to Taiwan, may host couchsurfers. My home is 40 minutes from the main airport by the way.

I study international business in my home university and economics here in University of Navarra. Can't believe this is my last year being a student! I've always wanted to practice "work hard, play harder" and be braver. After all, life is short.

Steve Jobs once said, "Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other opinions drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." I want to grab every chance to try new things and know more about myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard of couchsurfing long time ago but have never done this. I just registered last year and put this in my must-do list. I like making friends, learning others' traveling experience, and also sharing my stories with you. Knowing different cultures always broaden my mind. People think and doing things differently make the world so lovely.

Interests

Playing badminton and table tennis.
Sometimes I go jogging when the weather is nice.
Listening to music and watching movies.

Music: both Chinese and American pop songs

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

for me, my first time going abroad to Canada alone when I was 18 was an amazing experience. stayed with local family and met people from different countries in a language school was great! Local people were really nice; they talked with me on the streets and hoped I enjoyed the city, Victoria.

Now in Spain and traveling around is also what I'd never thought of before.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're interested in learning Chinese, I can teach you a little bit.
I brought post cards from Taiwan, not the tourism kind but made in my home university. Let's exchange our stories!
