CURRENT MISSION

Learning about life through diving into the world

[[[ If you are writing a request, please mention the personalized reason why you would like to stay with ”me” and not just anyone. I reject all the canned messages and “maybe you can show me around” requests directly. Please consider what you can offer to the hosts, not physically but just good conversations on the topics both interested in count. I always try my best to hangout with surfers and I am eager to share my culture. It’s not for people who are looking for a free hotel bed or a free tour guide. ]]]

ABOUT ME

I’m a Taiwanese who just moved to Shanghai and I look forward to meeting some travel pals to explore the city together!

I enjoy traveling in the way to have a good taste of big or small adventures all the time! It can be meeting other travelers or locals, throwing myself into remote mountains, or camping in the middle of desert accompanied by moonlight and stars. I love and treasure every story shared and the wonderful scenery and thoughts come across me on the way traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

There is some good in this world and it is worth fighting for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started my couchsurfing life in December, 2014 for my 7-month long trip in Europe and I just LOVE it. I would love to meet up with and host travelers now in Shanghai to make me feel like traveling all the time!
