About Me

Believe in travelling is the best way to learn, to feel and also to know myself.

I would like to meet new friends around the world and listen to their amazing stories. If we can spend adventures together will be a plus!
Always can learn something meaningful from others, especially travellers. I got a lot of inspiration from them.

In 2016, I started to explore nature of Taiwan on my own. Now I like outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, camping, kayaking etc.

And now I'm up for outdoor activities! I can show people around some nice trails in Taipei or around Northern Taiwan .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is a great way to get a feeling of travel from meeting surfers and listening to their stories or the background of their country. And I hope I can offer any help and information to those who are new to Taiwan.

I've been a host since 2018. Stopped using CS during Covid. Now because I have 4 cats at home, there is no space for hosting people anymore. But I'm still happy to meet up travellers!

Interests

travel, road trips, nature scenes, reading, fitness and workout , watching films(drama,movie etc), learning a new language, photography and also culture exchange, outdoor activities, hiking, trail running.

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie music especially played by bands.
Florence and the machine, The Revivalists, Dave Matthews Band, Birdy, Trevor Hall.

Drama is my favourite genre.
Every traveller must watch INTO THE WILD once!
Movies from 1990-2000 always attract me.
Forrest Gump, Leon, Taxi Driver, Matchstick Men, Lost in Translation, Before Sunrise, Fight Club, Her and so on..

I like reading.
Poem by Charles Bukowski.
The alchemist, Eleven minutes (Paulo Coelho).
On the Road (Jack Kerouac)
A Single Man (Christopher Isherwood)
Haruki Murakami is the best author I would say. He did write loads of classic and soulful fictions.
One of the best is definitely Kafka on the Shore! Also A Wild Sheep Chase, Dance Dance Dance

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In November 2017, I started my solo trip in South Africa for almost 3 months by Baz Bus. The trip was fantastic. I met lots of awesome people and experienced their multiple cultures and its beautiful nature.

March 2018 I spent 3 weeks in Northern and Southern Thailand. This time I did a bike trip which was awesome!

2022 May to Aug I quit my job again and travelles in Europe haha. Visited many countries and I really enjoyed summer time there. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Language is always what I’d like to learn.
Mandarin is my native language and this is what I could help, :)
I'm interested in learning other languages even just the basic words!

What I could share might be my travel stories and good company, sometimes plus drinks and laughter ha!

Learning surfing and photography, playing Ukulele etc
