Hello I'm Yu-Ning Chen, you can also call me Ning or Iris.
Born in Taiwan, I love traveling myself and making friends.

My major in college is Public Affairs, so I have great interests in history, social system, and pubic issues of different countries.

Take some for example, I'm trying to understand the system of social housing in countries such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Netherlands, and Paris; and I eager to know how the foreign experience can help Taiwan.

Also, I love new things very well. So I participated a star-up program and came up with a Second-Hand Platform with my mate, then visited the coolest companies in Silicon Valley and Beijing, such as Airbnb, Facebook, and 500 Startups.

To sum up, my dream is to know the world, get new things all the way and make Taiwan a better place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. Make new friends from all over the world, and meet like-minded people.
2. Try the experience I've never done before.
3. Feel the randomness of life.
