You can call me Yun since I know it's not that easy to pronounce my name for nonchinese speakers. (Fun fact: even Chinese natives pronounce my name wrong most of the time lol.)

I'm a Taiwanese who currently finished the exchange months in Augsburg, Germany. 🇩🇪 and traveling in Europe with my remaining scholarship 🌍✈️

***I'm here for experiencing the life of the locals, sharing cultural stuff and perspectives, and making friends from all over the world. Please DON'T use couchsurfing as a dating app. I'm not here for dating. Please understand.

***I'm from TAIWAN 🇹🇼, an island in East Asia, famous for semiconductor and bubble tea. I'm NOT from Thailand, China, or Vietnam. :)

🔤 About languages:
In Taiwan, the majority of us speak Mandarin, and we write in Traditional Mandarin. Most old people speak Taiwanese, which is very close to Hokkien, a language in China. But there are still Hakka, and many Aboriginal languages are used in Taiwan. Welcome to ask me and talk about it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to explore deeply into the culture, not just travel to the attractions. Want to make new friends and exchange thoughts and experiences. Want to experience a city in a view of a local and a foreigner.

From my previous traveling experience, the most memorable moments during my journey are those times I spent with strangers on the way. So, I am here to create more chances to meet other interesting souls.

*especially I'm figuring out what to do next after graduation, I would love to know about life stories and different work experiences as much as possible. Perhaps I'll get some inspiration from you xD

If you're interested in languages, I can also explain how Chinese words are made, developed, the meaning behind the words, and how we type Mandarin. Almost all the non-Chinese speakers I met found it super interesting, I guess you'll like it as well!
