Hello everyone! I am Sunny from Taiwan. I used to work in an international NGO based in Taipei, focusing on humanitarian and development work, but I recently quit my job to pursue my dream of traveling around the world.

I like backpacking to different places, meeting new people, and getting to know different cultures and perspectives of life. Some travel photos I can share with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people and culture; experience the possibilities of life and get to know various way of living

Interests

I am a person who can't live without the ocean and sunshine (though Taipei is a city that often has bad weather). I have also been into scuba diving since I got certified during my exchange term in South Africa. I recently became very interested in hiking after returning from a spectacular hike in Yunnan, and I am planning for more this year.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to almost all kinds of music, yet prefer indie rock and dream pop. I love to go to music festivals with my friends to get to know new bands. As for series, my favorites ones are The End of the F***ing World and Fleabag.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jump off Bloukrans Bridge in South Africa, which is the highest commercial bridge bungee in the world (216m), backpacked to cities in South Africa and joined an amazing 12-day camping tour in Namibia

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories I've learned from my NGO work and my travel stories. If you would like to learn some basic Mandarin Chinese, I am happy to help! I can also share some backpacking tips for traveling around Asia. I have been to many Asian countries (mainly Southeast Asia and East Asia), either as a solo traveler or traveling with friends.
