About Me

CURRENT MISSION

living life

ABOUT ME

I've spent a year in England and will go back to Taiwan in September. These months will be my 'gap months'! I'll discover the world and CS as much as I can. This year I met so many friends from all around the world and they let me know the totally different ideas to think, to live, to see the world! Everyone is so special, so different,that's why I'm here longing to know new friends!

PHILOSOPHY

"Wu wei" is the concept from Taoism, I think most of my personal philosophy come from that idea. Always be a true person! What important is who you are not what you have!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I saw on newspaper that one Taiwanese man traveled around the world by couch surfing then I thought I may try this new way to travel!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everytime is nice experience that's why I want to keep doing CS!

Interests

Play flute and piano! But it sounds much better when others play them :P
Walk around,it's the best way to discover new places in the city!
Language, one of the most amazing things in the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding in Queenstown NZ, watching sunset...that's the most wonderful scene I've ever seen!
