I'm originally from Taiwan but when I was twelve our family moved to Canada. Currently I'm traveling South America to learn Spanish and to experience new cultures. I graduated from human biology and nutrition at University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

Already a year into my travel, I volunteered building houses, taught little kids English and Math, tried surfing, almost reached 5000m in altitude, shadowed doctors in hospital, bartended in bars and worked in countless of hostels and almost hitchhiked 3000km in South America! Also I met so many great people and saw so many extraordinary sceneries on this trip, they just make me want to travel longer and longer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people of different cultures and background. I want to see the world in a different perspective.
