About Me

::

Can't get rid of the "Republic of China" on my profile, but again, I am from Taiwan and I strongly support Taiwan's independence. I am NOT Chinese and I hope you're aware of that before sending me a request or messages.
If you're a Chinese person and want to surf with me, no problem, I respect everyone's political views and hope you can do the same, too.

I have lived in Cambodia for the past seven years with my family and we speak mostly Tai-gi (Taiwanese) at home.
We have a maid cooking everyday at home and you’re welcome to eat with us. Also feel free to ask to use the kitchen and laundry machine.
As a surfer, you will have your own private ensuite room on the first floor or sleep on the couch, it depends on how many groups of surfers I have on the day.
My dad has a habit of waking up early at like 6 in the morning and make tea, if you are also a morning person, feel free to just sit with him.
I have shook and a part-time job as an English tutor so I barely have time to show you around but you're still welcome in the house and get a free ride to city center in the morning or even back to the house if you happen to be on my way home.
Sometimes the dog might bark at passing-by cars. Other than that, the area is usually very quiet. There's a gym/swimming pool right in front of the house, entrance fee is $5.
My little step brother is four years old and a very friendly, shy kid. He is lovely but still, if you cannot stand toddlers then I wouldn't suggest you to send a request. :)

I have a car so it is possible that I pick you up from a bus station or PP airport if I have time. Feel free to ask. :)

Currently I can only host on certain dates and if you have any questions about traveling in Phnom Penh, just send me messages. :)

Sometimes I have multiple groups of surfers so it's possible that you all have to share a room or sleep on the couch instead of in the room. I’ll try to let you know beforehand.

*Not replying questions about illegal stuff or business-related questions.
*I would only read requests and messages that at least address me by my name and with a brief introduction of yourself(ves).

I was born in Cambodia but I am probably not as local as you would expect. I moved to Taiwan when I was little and lived there for ten years. I am not fluent in Khmer and honestly barely have any local friends. All my Cambodian friends are from international schools and we speak English to each other. However, I've read a lot about the country's history and have been to most tourist/historical sites in the country. Even if I can't host you, I can share my experience and would love to be a tourist with you and will be your best semi-local friend to interact with the real locals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Help and organize medical charity events every year to help Cambodians who live in the provinces where no medical care is provided or is too expensive or corrupted for ordinary Cambodians. We invite doctors and nurses and volunteers from Taiwan and treat around 3000 people every year.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I've learned about this city during the years I've spent here and some Taiwanese culture and some love from my dogs.
