Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Canada as a start point, committed myself to travel around the world; looking outside, and also searching inside of myself.
ABOUT ME
I am a slow traveler, in a belief that 3 or 4 days couldn't really know a place or a person, prefer a longer time to digest, to understand, to feel, to smell somewhere/someone new.
I am a good listener and quiet at most time, but also love sharing when we hit the topic.
PHILOSOPHY
No man ever steps into the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
Keep going and experiencing is all the way we need.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Once I attended a spiritual class in Taipei (Taiwan), met a new friend who invited me to stay at her home in Miaoli (near Taichung, Taiwan), once she knew I have no plan for the upcoming days.
I stayed at her very local-style house with her family, ride me by her motorbike to the night market at midnight which is full of locals. We talked a lot on the spiritual learning, the food, the local living...etc. This is my first couchsurfing experience, all of a sudden. Such a nice experience, where I could really be with the locals, something I treasure most in travel. This triggers me to start couchsurfing here, to act a great balance of taking and giving around the world.
Interests
Love reading, creating potteries and hand crafts, sharing on tarot readings with friends, and hanging around the city on foot.
Enjoy natural beauties, walking in a forest/ on a beach, jogging in a park, looking at the ocean...are my favorite too
Sometimes meditate, and now start learning how to cook (although not really good at), and start sharing my travel life via the blog, some in English and some in Chinese.

Music, Movies, and Books
Love reading articles related to local living, and also interested in spiritual books.
About music, love Alanis Morissette, Pink Martini, the Cranberries, Linkin Park, Chat Baker, Arielle Dombasle, Tango music, but honestly not really good at discussion.
