Hi! I’m Brenda, originally from Taiwan and currently an international student in Canada. I’ve traveled to many countries, including Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Ireland.

I’m an easygoing, curious, and open-minded person who loves exploring new places, trying local food, and learning about different cultures. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and exchanging stories. When not studying, I like working out, reading, cooking, hiking, spending time in nature, and volunteering with animals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe travel is not only about seeing places but also about connecting with people. Couchsurfing is a great way to meet locals and fellow travelers, share cultures, and create meaningful experiences.

I’m here to make new friends, learn from different perspectives, and hopefully share a bit of my own culture too. Whether it’s having a meal together, exploring the city, or just chatting, I look forward to making genuine connections.
