哈摟 | Hey | 안녕하세요 | Namaste

I’m Cyrus Chuang, a college student from Taichung, Taiwan. I’m currently studying at Minerva Schools, living in Hyderabad 🇮🇳. I have studied/lived/worked in 🇹🇼🇺🇸🇰🇷before coming to India and will travel to 🇩🇪🇦🇷🇬🇧to finish my program for the next two years.

I love meeting up with people and experiencing local life with them. I love telling and listening to stories. 📷 and ✏️ are usually my go-to when I want to tell a story. So I mainly do street photography and portraits cuz I want to capture the moment when people are in their most natural state.

If you also have passion for social issues/politics/philosophy/psychology/history/religion, please hit me up! I am also ready for a spontaneous deep conversation on any of these.

Oh and I’m a certified walking tour guide in my home town (TAICHUNG) so when you come visit me, I’d love to show you around my town I call home. I’ll show you around places I found storyful and experience local life. I hope my host can too!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

A friend I met on my first solo trip told me, “never forget to talk to people.” I really like to talk to people, and I love stories of different people because they open new windows for me to this vast world.
