Hi, I'm A-ping from Taiwan.

I might be new to Couchsurfing, however I've started traveling since 2013, when I was an exchange student in the Czech Republic.

I'm an experienced hiker, a mountain lover, a harmonica player, and an enthusiastic runner. (Details in other sections)

I'm an open-minded and easygoing person. One proof of that? I'll eat almost anything -- never been picky when it comes to food.

I am 100% fine to speak English, and I always eager to learn something new.

For me life is all about experience -- and traveling is one of the best ways to broaden your horizons.

Here's my motto:
"Collect moments rather than things."

Happy traveling! :)

Ps. I'm new to Couchsurfing platform so there aren't many pictures/references for now (I'm working on it)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me traveling is a way of life, so I don't want to be just a tourist.
In my opinion, Couchsurfing is a good way to really make connections with people and see their lifes. And in exchange, I'll bring my exceptional life stories to you as well. (Why I gave up my engineer career and decided to be an athlete in my late twenties.)

Hiking: fast packing style, just finished the King trail in Sweden this summer

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music, Running, traveling stories.

I always travel with my harmonica. I play it in the mountains, by the sea, beside a waterfall, in front of a fountain or palace... Almost everywhere! (Video clips on Instagram)
I can play some traditional Taiwanese folk songs and some Japanese anime movie songs, and I'm also looking forward to learning and playing some local songs from your country :)

As a runner, I also bring a pair of sneakers with me all the time. I have experience as a running coach/pacer, so no matter what running levels you are, I can be your professional running partner! Exploring the cities with my own legs is so fun.

(Ah of course, I can always prepare some traditional Taiwanese style meals for you. :p)
