Nature is the teacher.

-Eager to meet people/community living a self-suffcient life.
-Trying to be a food forager -- I like to eat wild edible plants!
-Live closely with indigenous people back in my country(Taiwan). I learn their culture and traditional knowledge.
-Often wander in the wild and have fun in finding trees, flowers and plants though sometimes I don't know their names.
-Do vipassana meditation.
-Seldom shopping in the mall/department store, often go crazy in local farmer market.
-Not an expert in cooking but love to buy local, eat local and enjoy cooking.

I cannot host right now coz I am on the road.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
