Hi, everybody! I'm Elsa from Taiwan!
After backpacking around the world and South America for one year and a half, I decided to settle down in La Plata, Argentina.

Different cultures, history, nature and local food are all attractive to me.
With CS, I'm excited to be part of your daily life and know what makes us :)

I usually travel slowly without too many plans in order to dig into a place and know how locals live.
I also like to sit in the park on a sunny day or just wander in town. For me, it’s all about enjoying and appreciating every little things on this planet. 😊

Though you may find me laid back, I'm excited to try new things and have fun with you!

Oh, never forget to mention that I'm obsessed with different foooood!
Two more things about me:
- Love country sides more than cities
- Silence/nature sound lover

Still learning Spanish. So please bear with my slow speed and limited expression 😆

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have been inspired by people's stories, and I also hope things happened in my life could be a sparkle for you.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer a Traditional Chinese translation from your name!
Our language is so hard but fun. It's evolved from symbols thousands years ago and have 5 tones for each sound. If you're interested in some lessons, I'd love to do!

Anything related to Taiwanese culture and language

If there's any red paper then it'd be fun to make spring couplets which we put it on Windows and doors every Chinese new year :)
