About Me

hello hello

After a year in France-Swiss border, I finally got back home.

From September 2016 to June 2017 I decided to take a gap year and try to find out the meaning of life, just kidding, to see the world as much as I can :)

My major in university is civil engineering but doing so poorly in this field. How poor? Like failed calculus and general physics in my first semester, plus got C- in other required courses... Those are the reason why I paused my school.

I grew up in Taiwan, a town close to the sea. I used to ride the bike to a wetland during summer times. Luckily had the chance to visit several places with my family or friend or alone.

Last year I wished I could be brave, this year I hoped I could have more perseverance. Eventually coming to an end of my au pair year. I think I am closer and closer to my annual goal haha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people to share things and to talk! And meet people and talk and share. Though I don't have the ability to host people yet with all the love I received, I will become a host when I get my own place :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biking around Lac Lemon (Geneva lake) Not a very hard one, but is always on the top of my to-do list. The view is awesome separate 180km in a weekend.

Teach, Learn, Share

Mandarin songs that I like! I have a long list of mandarin songs from pop to indie. And the language Mandarin, also I can share a lot about my culture. Being a au pair for 9 months I am good at taking care of children and play with them!
