About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wait for a chance to explore Asia further.

ABOUT ME
I am PhD student at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), I work on HIV vaccine development. I always try to find any little chance I get to explore another corner of the earth. I last live in Taiwan and visited Hong Kong and Japan. I am obviously another travel addict like you all.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Cien Años de Soledad (A Hundred Years of Solitude), The Universe in a Nutshell, How the World Works, A clockwork Orange, Mortality, etc.

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!

Countries I’ve Visited

Croatia, Denmark, England, Germany, Hong Kong, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, United States
