Hello, I am Vivi, 22 years old. I am from Taiwan but now studying Social work in Berlin.

I can speak Chinese, English and a little bit German. I am warm and openminded. Always love to listen to people, make friends around the world with deep friendship.

I love writing, reading, doing meditation, photography, swimming, dancing (swing dance), taking a long walk and trying new things, collecting different ideas from people and life.

I have devoted myself to social innovation and art curating since 2014. One of the issues I want to explore is organization transformation. If you have related background or experience then we can talk a lot.

This is my first time coming to Europe. Really want to travel around but only with limited budget. I can make Taiwanese dishes for you and help you cleaning the house. Hope to meet some warm and interesting people here.

ps. I don't smoke, no bad habits. I am in a stable relationship.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. I don't want to be "a tourist" when visiting a country. Explore a place deeply, truly understand its culture and people's perspective mean a lot to me. I think living with local people is the best way to make it.

2. I want to let more people know more about my hometown, Taiwan ! Taiwan is located in East Asia. We are the first country in Asia with law to allow same-sex marriage. People there are truly hostility. we also have beautiful natural landscape, if you like hiking, rock climbing, diving or stream trekking, Taiwan is the best choice for you !
