About Me

I always stay in Germany and travel around Europe through Couchsurfing.
- Oct 2017-Mar 2018: Exchange student in University of Ulm
- Jul 2017-Aug 2017: Intern in Helmholtz Association (MDC, Berlin)
- Mar 2015-Aug 2015: Exchange student in University of Tübingen

My major is life sciences and I am doing research about Immunology and inflammation. I am interested in becoming a clinical research associate or medical science liaison. I am open-minded and flexible. If I have time, I can host people for some nights. Otherwise having a dinner together is also okay!

At first, I thought I was a shy person and I did not really like this personality. However, after doing couchsurfing, I find that I am just a person who listens more than speaks. I was surprised that every hosts said they had a really good time with me. Now I can embrace myself! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started couchsurfing when I was an exchange student in Tübingen. I traveled a lot in that half an year. It's interesting to make friends in this way.

As a guest, I can get a chance to visit somewhere that only local people know! Also, I can find "real" good foods rather than "fake" ones for tourists :p. It is also interesting for me to see many different home furnishings. But don't worried, it does not mean I need a place which is very luxurious. Actually, I am quite good at adapting every kind of places:)

As a host, sharing is happy! I miss the days when I was in Europe so much. Although I don't have much time traveling now. I still look forward to meeting people and knowing their story. :)

Interests

Music: I play the flute in wind bands and sing in choruses. Sometimes I also play the piano.
Travel: Needless to say, everyone should fall in love with it!
Foods: I am willing to try every specialty. Foods are also important parts of traveling for me!
Languages: All kinds of languages interest me. Please teach me your language!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flying a motor glider in Switzerland up to ca. 4500 meters. The views are really amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am now learning German. It's a difficult language but I love it! There is not much chance to practice speaking in Taiwan so if you can speak German please help me with it. :)

Actually, I do not really know what I can teach, learn, or share with you. But we can figure it out when we meet! So there is no worries. :)
