ABOUT ME

puhhhh again such a heavy task. I'm a native Taiwanese. Try to get away this small island from time to time. Mostly, I pay visits to friends/ raletives who lives abroad or take well-packaged tours, which means no worry about the itineraries, traffics, accomaditions, or the languange problems. But I guess, at some points of our lives, we might want to make some changes, which includs the way we see about traveling.

I hope it's not just about escaping from our stressed work. It's about being able to meet new friends, experice new cultures, talk to people who are different from our backgrounds, listen to, I mean really listen to, people whom we might not have a chance to see them again. To see how these things/ people can shape/make our lives.

PHILOSOPHY

We can't run from our pasts,we can't run from ourselves. When we'd like to figure out what life is, just search our hearts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm quite living a simple, plain life. Never try things crazy. Maybe the amazing thing is that I found out this website, and realized so many people are willing to offer their couches for whom I might call "strangers". Now, I'm glad I'm part of this community, and certaintly my couch is ready for needing people.
