About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn Japanese. See parts of Japan. Figure out what makes me happy and how to make that into a job

ABOUT ME

Hello! I am Taiwanese currently living and working in Tokyo, Japan. Before Tokyo, I lived in the United States for many years. I enjoy traveling, going to cafes and museums, watching movies, learning languages, and learning about other people's passions. I learned French as a university student so I try to keep it up.

PHILOSOPHY

I think I change my mind too often to have a set philosophy. I believe that everyone has something to share with others. And that when you leave a place, you also leave a little piece of you in that place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Staying up all night with friends just chatting on the street waiting for the
First time couch-surfing. Someone you don't know takes you into your home and treats you like family.

People are so warm.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm expert at making imitations of gourmet dishes with ingredients accessible to poor college students.
I can teach you English slangs in an academic way. I can share with you my favorite Chinese idioms that make no sense but is really useful.
I can tell you good places to eat in Taipei and how to work the metro lines.
If there's something you want to learn from me and I don't know how, I will google it and watch a few related youtube videos, then I will teach you.
