Born and raised up in Taipei, Taiwan yet found the second home in Brasilia, Brazil. This is my second time back at South America to fulfill my addiction of the rich Latin culture and the passionate life style.

Currently study at University of Brasilia for master program of Anthropology.

In the meanwhile, I am also a columnist of Crossing, a global opinion platform in Mandarin language with around 200K readers.

Keep enjoying living and traveling with curious eyes, obliging behavior and receptive heart. Always feel excited about any little new things and each new tomorrow, just like a kid.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So far I'm only a surfer and expect to lay on more sofas or beds, meet more hosts, share stories and make connections.

My first coachsurfing experience was at Curitiba; later I also tried it at Bogota and Quito. I am still in contact and keep friendships with all of them.

Coachsurfing is a good way to approach local culture, which I adore a lot. It offers the best opportunity to reach different people, appreciate the destination by an rarely valuable view.

Interests

A cocktail made of Tequila or any local special liquor would be a perfect start for story telling, but I don't mind to chat with alcohol neither.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There should not be only one thing! Let's say five:

1. Did my own first backpacking trip in New York City
2. Student exchanged to Brazil and traveled to many countries around
3. Having a local Brazilian family as my real family
4. Had an article printed on a well-selling magazine
5. Keep the dare to dream big

Teach, Learn, Share

All my life and travel journey would be the resource to share. Interesting cultural facts I know and learnt personally in Asia and Brazil are things I like to mention about.
Moreover, I have experience on teaching Mandarin.

I would love to learn anything about you, your city and your culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If we can find coca cola, soy sauce and chick wings, I can make my signature dish: Coke Chicken; yummy guaranteed!

I will always bring some little random gifts with me as well as the calligraphy pen to show where I am from and what I am proud of. If feeling interested, I can translate your name into Mandarin and write it down for you. It is always fun to do this.
