Hello! Currently living in Taiwan for a year to teach English. I am a fan of couchsurfing and meeting new people in my travels. Sometimes I am too spontaneous to try to make plans (aren't we all?). The best parts of travel for me are having meaningful conversations with diverse people about their experiences and world perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing first and foremost to immerse myself in other cultures. Secondly, to appease the demands of my wallet.
