Hello, I am Hanwen (Andy) from Taiwan, a student, a photographer, and also a backpacker!
I love history, geography, photography, and good food. I know lots of history, especially about East Asia. Anyone curious about Asia can know a lot from me.
Most people on Couchsurfing are friendly, so do I! I'm reliable and always love to share things. Super willing to share my gap year experience traveling around the world and Taiwan's amazing tourism spot.
Right now I'm back to Taiwan and it's time to give back. Looking forward to knowing your cool stories and your amazing culture.
If possible, I am willing to meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing because of the people. When living in hostel, all the traveler do the same things. However, I think it's a little bit boring. I really want to stay with local people and know this city from your point of view!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2018, I traveled around the world with only 10,000 euros! Visited 31 countries, 5 continents within 300 days, one of the best decision in my life.

Still remember my experience floating on lake Titicaca, amazing galaxy at Solar de Uyuni, wonderful hiking in Patagonia, crazy friendly in Colombia breathtaking green in Ireland and anxious stuff in Egypt.

The world is TOO BIG and waiting for us to explore. I cannnot finish it by myself but we can do it together.

Teach, Learn, Share

Mandarin, History, Asian. Culture

Actually I don't know what to teach you... But we always learn from each other in a very single moment.
Who knows?
