ABOUT ME

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I hiked the mountains of Taroko in Taiwan until I reached a Buddhist Monastery. While there, I stayed with a Native Taiwanese family descendent of a tribe from the mountains and although I speak no Mandarin, I was able to relate to them on a cultural level (being of native origin myself, even if from the other side of the globe).
Teach, Learn, Share
People from different backgrounds with different life stories and viewpoints.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Aside from stories? A place to crash obviously, a few hints on where to go on the city I currently call home and a small private brewery tour!
