I am Yao, currently a postgraduate student studying Energy & Sustainability at the University of Edinburgh.
Love meeting new people and exploring new places. Not loud but have chill vibes. I enjoying being around with people as much as spending time reading by myself. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm moving to a Edinburgh so I'd love to meet some local people, and will gladly pay back/ accept visitors when I will be in other parts of the world.

Interests

I have been practicing yoga for years. Slowly but steadily improving my yoga asanas and philosophy. I enjoy watching almost all kinds of movies/ documentaries/ animations but not horror movies.

Love cooking vegetarian dishes creatively. Enjoy outdoorsy activities such as hiking or forest bathing. :P

Music, Movies, and Books

Don't have a favorite type of music. Most of the time I enjoy chill indies or jazzy music, also tribal sound mixed with organic instrumentations, but sometimes I listen to old Taiwanese songs. Really depends on my mood and the occasion. Some artists that I like: Damien Rice, Cuco, Alef, Stromae...
Favorite movie: LÉON.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my philosophy of life, and sincere stories of my own- travel adventures, romantic life, etc. If you're interested. :p
I can also explain you Taiwanese culture, most of the time I can provide in-depth insight... I'd love to learn new perspectives too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach Chinese culture, or Asian culture in general. I can help cook some meals and can be a good drinking buddy too.
