About Me

Current Mission
———————————————————
1. Figure out the mechanism of emotion and reaction, based on psychology or sociology.
( something sentimental )

2. Try to understand all the big event happened in world history and observe the correlation between them, and how they influenced our life.

3. Try hard to challenge myself (low budget traveling, hitchhiking, Crisis management, and survive)

4. Memorize all the King or Queen's name in European history (Really confusing, Different Charles,Louis,Philipe or William) what they have done and how people evaluate their decision

5. Try to make people know Taiwan more!! To be honest, our diplomatic situation is quite difficult now, even I thought myself as a world citizen, I still really want to let you know the beautiful island I came from.

6. Writing my first movie script (I've written two playwright for school stage, although it's not good enough but I really enjoyed the process)

—————————————————————

Hello, I'm 21, male. I have lived in Taipei for 10 years. Now I'm majoring in business administration in National Taiwan University. I have taken some courses about marketing. I strongly love history because I enjoy listening to stories and finding out what is the essential of humanity. Although I studied management and business in college, my real ambition is to be a great screenwriter. I am in an exchange program to Mannheim Business School in August, 2015 and stay in Europe for 6-7 months. I'm straight and have a lot of LGBT friends (Love is Love, nothing need to be explained) I would like to host people but now I'm just traveling.

* Museum addict (Political history is my favorite )
* Animal lover (Especially the CATS)
* Chess and board game player

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to contact with people deeply and collect different perspectives about the world. I'd like to talk with people about the cultural and political issues. I always find out new things changing my own understanding about the world. I hitchhike all the way, I like the feeling of expedition. I don't have a specific schedule , I don't want to pin the timetable. I want to meet some local friends that I can share my experience with them and introduce them the beautiful country I came from - Taiwan.

Interests

History, History and History!!!
I think history is one of the best way to learn the culture and how the world comes out now.
Especially about politics ( international relations and social structure)

Movie
I love Christopher Nolan and his films very much, He is my idol, inspiring and motivating me to work hard for being a influential director and screenwriter as him. In addition, I love some movie talking about humanity via other creature or life. I have watched too many films to list them one by one, in conclusion, I'm a movie addicts.
