Hello! I’m Vivian from Taiwan, currently working in Shenzhen, China.

I’m living with my partner Diana - we’re both chilling and easy-going persons, bored and busy with work but value work-life balance. There’s an extra guest room in our flat which we decided to share with travelers around the world!

The guest room is equipped with a big comfortable bed, a desk and a closet. Our flat is super cozy but distant from the city center (LongHua district). You can reach our place by public transportation (metro+bus) but it’s not a convenient location. Please also be noted that I usually host people during workdays and I rarely hangout with surfers. (Sunday is my only day-off, usually I keep Sunday for myself) Our place is suitable for slow-pace travelers.

PS. We love coffee so if you can bring us some coffee beans from your country or city we’d be super glad haha.

When I’m at work I host surfers around the world, when I’m on vacation I travel and become a surfer.

📍I was an exchange student in Utrecht, Netherlands for half year and I started to use couchsurfing for traveling
📍I love traveling and making friends from all over the world. My friends always describe me as an open-minded, enthusiastic and out-going person.
📍I'm also a food lover and I’m always exploring local food and good cafes.
📍I love: baking, coffee, hiking, movies, music and reading books.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and see different lifestyles.
People who trust strangers to come to their home and stay + people who are willing to walk in a stranger house and stay = mutual trust, super cool idea and lots of fireworks and fun!
Life is too short. I just wanna embrace every possibility that comes into my life and create special travel memories.
