I am Yi CHEN from Taiwan.I would say that I'm quite an outgoing person, I love traveling and making new friends. I like playing board game, sharing my experience and learning new stuff! I learn MMA(mixed martial art) and some self-defense skills, and I would like to share with everyone who is interested in. For me, everyone's life is a unique and brilliant story. I desperately want to hear different stories from people with their own background. At the same time, I am willing to share mine with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is the best way to get the authentic taste of local cultures, and a great way to make friends around the world. I love the idea of knowing different people from different places, talking about cultures and sharing our traveling experience. Last but not least, people can truly explore a culture. Not like a tourist, but as a real adventurer to sink in the culture entirely.

Interests

Exciting activities such as Parkour, MMA, Surfing. If there is the opportunity, I would like to learn freediving. Trying everything before making any comment is my value, so I will be very delighted if you bring me to try something local.
