Hi, I'm Lin Chia Hsien or you can call me Xavier as my English name.
I consider myself to be easygoing, humorous and will love to make friends from different backgrounds.

Coming from an island (Taiwan) that has 268 mountains over 3000 meters, mountain climbing is my favorite thing when it comes to weekend. It's just so calm to totally be in nature and focus on your steps and view. During week days, tennis court is always my runaway place. You can also find me in restaurants with great foods, cozy coffee shops, movie theaters, live house and book stores.

I'm a adventurous person and keen to know history and stories while traveling, can also share with you many interesting stories taking place in Asia. Oh, I have joined several social movements and really care about what's happening in the world and people's feeling and needs.

Last point is that I belongs to LGBTQ family🌈 and it's great to be part of it:)
Hope to meet you more and hang around!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

/ Have been trained and volunteered in Lifeline for a year, there're some emergency phone calls that I'll remember for my life time.
/ Volunteering in Lashio (north Myanmar), got a chance to be a teacher of several cute students there.
/ Climbing the second highest mountain in Taiwan with friends, we were too late to make it to the camping base.
While we were terrified because of darkness, I rose my head and saw the most beautiful sunset my entire life.
/ Doing safari in Thar Desert, it rained for the first time in three years.
/ Surfing in the amazing sea in Taitung, there showed a complete rainbow after a huge wage falling down.
/ Be generous friend throughout the time
