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 with my boyfriend.

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 knowing what makes us :)

I always travel slowly (also without much planing) to dig into a place and know how locals live.
I also like to sit in the park on a sunny day, or walk around in towns. Kind of a laid-back person.
For me, it’s all about enjoying and appreciating every little thing on this planet. 😊

While you found me calmer sometimes, I'm always excited to try new things and have fun with you!

Oh, never forget to mention that I'm obsessed with different foooood!

🔸Love country sides more than cities
🔸Silence/nature sound lover

I am still learning Spanish. 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.

Way more welcomed if you ever visit Taiwan!
I'd love to show you my beloved country and cities by riding a scooter!

If you're a food lover, pls don't pass by.
You'll fall in love with Taiwanese food!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could offer a Chinese translation from your name 😆
Our language is so hard but fun!
As you may know Traditional Chinese evolved from pictures thousands years ago and have 5 tones for each sound. An interesting lesson? Haha

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!
