Hi, I’m ChiaYu (佳玉), but you can call me Kuma! I’m on a gap year, exploring life through writing, drawing, and reading. I love connecting with people and hearing their unique life stories. This year is all about self-discovery and finding the passions that make me shine. Let’s share experiences and inspire each other!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started using Couchsurfing in my 20s while traveling in Mexico, and it was an incredible experience! Now, in my 30s, I’m excited to host travelers in Taiwan, specifically in Hsinchu (Zhubei). Sharing stories, cultures, and connections with people from around the world is always a pleasure!

Countries I’ve Visited

England, Germany, India, Mexico, Nepal, Thailand
