About Me

I have $4 off coupons for Capilano Suspension Bridge and 10% off for Vancouver Aquarium. Free for anyone. Just want to help travellers.

ABOUT ME

Born in Taiwan, raised in Canada. I have a lot to share about my two countries 🇨🇦🇹🇼 I am an extroverted introvert who loves meeting new people and also enjoys solitude. Skip the small talks with me please, I enjoy getting to know people on a personal and deeper level. Open minded and adaptive, I'm down to explore and experience anything as long as there is no harm done. I believe the secret to life is not to do what you like, but to like what you do. Learn to have an open mind and appreciate, you will discover something new about yourself each day.

I love meeting people from different cultural backgrounds as I love listening to people's stories and getting to know their life motto. Hence I decide to work in the tourism and hotel industry.

I truly value exchange and travelling, so I took on many executive positions in various exchange programs here in Canada to help travelers grow. Also backpacked around Europe for 3 months.

PHILOSOPHY

Embrace your mess. It is what shapes who you are today.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning about different culture and experiencing 'the local life' of the new places I visit. I decide to give couch surfing a try in order to enhance my backpacking experience and I really met many wonderful people! I look forward to hearing your stories and making long lasting friendship.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played piano: 'Colours of the Wind' in public @ Florence's central market. 4 Italian women passed by and started singing the song in Italian together. The most beautiful memory.

Witnessing the power of music @ Prague: birds came flying from all directions just to sit by the river to listen to an AMAZING street violinist.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a huge advocate of social enterprise. I want to become a social entrepreneur, building business model that creates social change and benefits our society.

Because I don't ever want to stop learning.
