About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Screw up the world in the correct ways: with love, generousity, and trust.

ABOUT ME

Taiwanese-Canadian wanderer. I am an open-minded and adaptable person. I like to meet new friends, and always always eager to experience different cultures and people from different cultures. In year 2009 after a solo trip to Kansai, Japan, I felt in love with solo backpackiing, though I haven't traveled to too many places yet. Trying to live my life to the maximum. Love biking.

I love to exchange story with people. It is a very basic form of information telling but it broadens both people's mind and experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Bring peace to your mind and you will see a whole new universe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

going to local meetings and exchange ideas. Host whenever I can. Brings surfers around whenever I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is the best project in the world! Couple amazing souls I met on CS:

Yuya who is my very first host in Villa Hermosa, Mexico. Staying with their family made me realized the world is about supporting each other.

Rob, from Victoria, BC, Canada, who I met during a CS event. Afterward we became close friend. A wise man with great energy.

Justin from Victoria, BC, Canada. He simply is an urban legend to me till this date. He opened my eyes to how to live a totally off the grid lifestyle and sustainable life!
