We are best friends since high school. Here’s some information about us:

Valentina Chang 張嫣凌
I am easy-going and always willing to meet new people. I’d like to know what makes you happy, and let’s share some laughter ;) I love traveling, and I’ve been to The US, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Guam, Hong Kong, China, and many European countries. I’ve traveled around Taiwan, my home country. It’s a beautiful and worth-discovered island. I enjoy surfing in Yilan, but I’m still learning!! I am an ocean person who loves tanning :P When I’m in the city(Taipei, where I go to school), I like to do yoga in my flat, and occasionally party during the night. I love electronic music, particularly techno, minimal, house, chill-out, and disco.

Jason Lin 林思彤
I'm not fluent in English but I can understand and am definitely easy to get along with.
I like science. I’m curious about how everything works in life, so National Geographic and Discovery channel are usually my best choices when watching TV.
I have been to Hong Kong, Yunnan, Shenzhen in China. European countries will be added to my profile soon.
During my leisure time, I love riding motorcycle and walk around in the city, or coding on computer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It all started from Valentina's roommate hosted a friend from Netherlands this summer. He stayed at Val's place for over a month, and Valentina found CS interesting and rewarding. This summer we are going to Europe, and the experience of co-hosting bring up the idea of CSing in a whole new world to us! It would be awesome to have accompany. We want to explore some places unwritten on travel guides, every place has its beauty, however there’s no fun just to visit museums and be drown in tourists….. And the most important is, to GET TO KNOW THE PEOPLE and the culture difference.
