About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the world and learn learn learnnnn!

ABOUT ME

I'm a cat person. I have a cat, but unfortunately I can't bring him with me since I have been travelling. I spent 23 years living in Taiwan. After uni, I decided to take an adventure and get a master's degree in marketing management in the United Kingdom. I have gained and travelled a lot during my stay there. Good to know that it wasn't an end, but a start of life exploration. I always crave something interesting and new to do, and I don't mind taking risks. I'm genuine and friendly. I respect people as much as I could. Also, I am supportive and helpful as a friend.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is usually related to keeping the strong spirit in life. My favourite author, Paolo Coelho, has loads of inspiring quotes. Here are some of my favourite ones:

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."
— Paulo Coelho

"When you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true."
— Paulo Coelho

"Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly."
— Paulo Coelho

"People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of."
— Paulo Coelho

"The simple things are also the most extraordinary things,and only the wise can see them."
— Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho surely inspired me to start exploring the world. I have started the journey and I intend to continue it. He is also the reason that brought me here to meet new friends! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to Couchsurfing. Therefore, I'm not sure how exactly to start a new friendship up here, but I'm very friendly and intend to make a start. Plus, I'm very excited about exploring the world more and making new friends! I'm sorry that I don't have a cozy sofa/bed to offer at the moment. I haven't been settled for quite a while. However, I can provide my new friends my culture, experiences and genuine friendship! Please feel free to drop me a line anytime. It's never too much to develop a new friendship! :)

Interests

I love making new friends, especially friends who are different from myself. I enjoy good movies, especially those which assign us to think. I like music in general, and I'm paricularly in love with deep house and trance music.I'm a dance maniac. I enjoy dancing like nobody's watching with good trance music. Apart from my crazy dance moves, I also have experiences in belly dance, jazz dance, and pole dance. I take pleasure in expressing myself in dance movements! I'm always open to learn new languages. I'm a Mandarin Chinese native speaker, speak quite fluent English, and have begun learing Dutch and Spanish. I never hesitate to learn more! I'm not too much of an arty girl, but I do enjoy photography and paintings. Last but not least, I love travelling, especially travelling alone. Exploring foreign countries, rich cultures, exotic food and meeting new people are never boring. I have learned and experienced in my trips, and I can never complain it's too much!
