The worst request I ever received (which I think speaks for itself) was:
"Hi, can host?"

1. I'm Chester from Taipei. My Mandarin name is Kuanyu, if you're interested.
2. I majored in German Literature with minors in EU Research and Translation.
3. I enjoy cooking (though no special skills are required just to feed myself), reading, singing, walking aimlessly for long periods, and watching movies (usually by myself).
4. I'm somewhat addicted to drinking (alcohol, wine, and tea), eating salads, and learning languages.
5. I mostly travel alone and I don't play any musical instruments.
6. When the opportunity arises, I enjoy squash, cycling, badminton, bowling, and billiards. I don't really hike much.
7. I think I am laid back, talkative, and quiet all at once.
8. I am an open book; feel free to ask me anything about myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. Since many on Couchsurfing value sharing and engaging in conversations as the core aspects of the experience, spending time together in comfortable silence can also be quite enjoyable and uniquely fulfilling.

2. It would be my pleasure to show you around my neighborhood. My home is situated in a non-touristic area, about 20 minutes from the tourist center, where you can explore a traditional market and experience local life.

3. Sharing life experiences is the best conversation topic over a drink.
