I’m a laid-back 21 years old Economics student, currently learning Chinese in Taipei. When I’m on the road expect to see me making plans the day of. I’m driven by food experiences and will hunt for whatever you tell me to try. I love discovering cities the holistic way, going on long road trips, hiking through parks or forests (fresh air come at me, malaria stay away). But hanging by a nice beach and doing nothing is also rather fun even though I can never get tanned

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend told me a couple times to sign up telling me I’m the Couchsurfing type. Then one day I had to reach out to him to stay at his previous host’s place in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on a day when I would otherwise have to sleep at the train station. Then the next day the lovely lady who hosted me made me set up an account as the only payment she wanted for my stay. So this is quite literally why I’m on Couchsurfing, and you can partly guess from this what kind of person I am. I can only hope the experiences get even better from now on!

Music, Movies, and Books

I wouldn’t say I have a preferred genre or style. Sometimes I wanna be forced to think, sometimes only relax. Could put it as not picky, could also put it as ‘all art is equally valid’ right?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once hiked to the top of Mount Rinjani in Indonesia to watch the sunrise. Those were some pretty intense 20 hours over the course of just over a day!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach and learn languages! And also tell you all about how Portugal is the best country in the world, no joke

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can talk non-stop if you make me (as you might have noticed from this profile)
