Overview
About Me
I grew up in the southern city of Taiwan(Pingtung).
The population in Pingtung is around 839,000.
I have 5 familiy members including my parents, younger brother, sister in law and a nephew. We lived in a 3 story house where Its been lived more than 30 years.
I started my first job after university graduation in the northern city of Taiwan(Taipei) when I was 24. I never left my hometown before I was 24. I used to be keen to live in a modern and fashionable big city. I’ve worked as a technical writer, inside sales, secretary and etc. Mostly sitting in the office. I’m glad I was ever lived in a big city a decade so I now prefer the beauty of small city.
It comes to my mind (since I was twenty something) that I can live in some different countries every 3-5 years. (Yep I am a daydreamer : D )
But I am stuck every time when I think of how am I gonna make a living myself not staying in my country. I trust there’s always a way out, isn’t it?
If you have better tips, advice or just take me away, I’ll appreciate what you do.
I am not always energetic if too many social interactions with people. I might look attached (it’s only out of courtesy ) or dependent.
Trust me! We get along better if you leave me alone. I am interested in people and their stories. That’s why I genuinely love Couchsurfing.
I'm allergic to alcohol but I can take very little drink for fun(I had a terrible tolerance of alcohol).
I enjoy night life occasionally while I could easily feel exhausted, no offense to spoil fun. If you happen to see me yawning, please send me back where I can sleep or take a shower. I tried to practice yoga to improve my physical strength. I prefer to live a regular, health life. I enjoy morning sunshine more than moonlight.
Sorry for a long blabla........
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My first time to use it in September 2016 when I tried a budget travel in Europe. It’s been impressive and positive most of the time using it as a surfer.
Compared with most hosts I met so far, I cannot call myself as a good host but I m improving.
I like surfing than hosting, and you? Why?

Chinese writing
刮痧 gua sha:
El término proviene de la palabra Gua que significa “raspar” y la palabra Sha que se podría traducir como “arena patógena” o “acumulación de toxinas” u “obstrucción de energía”. De aquí que el objetivo del masaje sea liberar estas toxinas a través de la movilización de los fluidos.
GUA SHA - BENEFICIOS GENERALES
Provoca mediante la fricción una estimulación de la circulación linfática y sanguínea, con el consiguiente incremento del movimiento de los fluidos corporales, aumenta la función metabólica y ayuda a eliminar las toxinas acumuladas a nivel superficial y profundo del tejido con lo que conseguimos un efecto desintoxicante y drenante desde la primera sesión.
Mueve la sangre y la energía estancada. Favorece la oxigenación y la circulación evitando y mejorando las arañas vasculares.
