Hello!
my name is Jenny Wang. Im Taiwanese, born in the US and grew up in Quito. I am very easy going person. 24 years old. Come from a family of 5 kids.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

simply put:

Just like anyone who has an international background, I get tired of being in a place for too long. I like living here in Quito, though... its peaceful, the food is great, the weather is great, i have lots of activities that I do, there is a lot of beautiful scenery, and most of the people are easy to get a long with, etc. (come visit when you can! there is a LOT to see!)...

... BUT I have been bitten by the travel bug years ago and I have been able to ignore it for a good amount of time, now (that I´ve settled back down, have a cool routine, and have friends, etc.). And now , its EATING me up inside and I need to go out and discover more of the world!... would you be able to help me out with this? :D

1. playing the ukulele
2. pole dancing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I´ve done a lot of cool things... mostly during my travels.
Mostly I am very laid back and not very much a big party person. If you host me,
I will tell you about my experiences over a nice meal or during a nice ride around your country :D

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you lots of things, and im sure you have a lot to teach me as well!

but... i would LOVE it if you could show me how to cook the food from your country, as well! I want to collect different recipes from all over the world!

and i would ALSO love that you show me art from your countries. i like to go to museums and walk through streets that have a lot of street art. That way, i will have more inspiration to continue with my own art!

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a thank you for letting me stay with you. I promise to cook you a delicious meal.

My whole family cooks. My parents taught me to LOVE food!My parents cook amazing chinese food (restaurant style and light home cooking), my older sister can cook amazing american and thai food, my little sister bakes great cookies and cakes.

I´ve had many italian roommates, so i learned a lot of italian cooking from them (i love making lasagna and yummy simple pastas).

SO: apart from getting to know you and hopefully share cool things with you, too... I will cook for you many things that I have learned from my family, friends, and travels to different places.

I can also teach you many phrases in the languages that I know, too :)
