I am a Taiwanese-Canadian who recently decided to hop on the digital nomad bandwagon to try it out and see where it takes me. I used to design app games for kids as a 9-5, but now am doing something I find more meaningful than pure entertainment - which is creating digital content that teaches kids social learning skills. So anything kid & tech related perks my interest!

I would describe myself as an open-minded and socializing introvert, always finding ways for myself to get out of my comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently travelling in South East Asia / Asia and am looking for places to stay while transitioning from city to city, country to country. My plan is to travel with best eco-friendly practices, while meeting open minded people along the way.

Interests

Really anything that involves being outdoors: rock climbing, camping, park chilling, bike touring, snowboarding, picnicking, hiking, diving, befriending animal friends

As much I love the outdoors, I also am more than okay with being a home body as well. Hard to pass up a night of say board games, wine, movies, dog cuddles, or having quality time with friends and family.

• dogs
• design

• outdoor adventures

Music, Movies, and Books

My go-to reads are novels that are based around historical facts and biographies, to name a few:
-One thousand splendid suns
-Pachinko
-Two Solitudes
-Glass castle
-The green island
-Escape from camp 14

I’m super easy with music and movies, give me a recommendation and I’ll give anything a try and let you know what I think.

Currently have Leon Bridges and Daniel Caesar on repeat.

Most recent series I flashed through is The Marvellous Mrs Maisel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two invaluable experiences for me:

1. Worked alongside with village locals to optimize a design of an affordable water filtration system in Longido, Tanzania

2. Volunteered as an English teacher at a rural elementary school in Taiwan, working with 1-3 graders
