Hey there, fellow traveler!

This is Amber from Taiwan, a travelholic girl always chasing the next adventure!
I’ve lived in different countries through exchange programs, working holidays, and expat gigs. Along the way, I realized how much I love traveling, especially connecting with people and diving deep into different cultures.

I’m really into the outdoors. I love hiking, and while I spent 2.5 years in the Philippines, I picked up surfing and became an AOW diver.
I also enjoy just wandering the streets without a plan, soaking in the local vibe, and snapping everyday moments with my camera.

Now, I’m about to quit my 9-to -5 job this September to finally chase my dream of backpacking around the world!

Can’t wait to meet you out there:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went solo into the mountains — over 12 hrs on all kinds of transport, no internet, no proper guide - just a mix of nerves and excitement driving me to find the legendary 108 year old tattoo artist, Apo Whang-Od. And I got my very first tattoo from her!!
