Hi! My name is David, I am a Taiwanese American from San Francisco and Taipei.

I'm a freelance illustrator and designer who graduated from Rhode Island School of Design. I've been in NYC for the past three years. I travel often between San Francisco, Europe, Providence, and Taipei.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I showed a few people around while I was in Taiwan, and it was a great experience. I felt like I got to know my own country better and went to places I never been to (even though I grew up there)

Whenever I travel, I like to see the place through the lens of the locals, rather than going to the expected destinations.

兴趣

As an illustrator, I spend most of my spare time doing illustrations, whether it's personal or for publications.
I'd say if I wasn't an illustrator I probably would've wanted to become an anthropologist, linguist, chef, or historian.

I love cooking, and I love food, it's truly great entryway into learning a new culture.

I also enjoy going to concerts, especially jazz.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music:

My mother is a music teacher at a local school growing up. I grew up listening to church hymns, classical, and now I'm all grown up, I listen to mostly anything, especially jazz, classical, and folk music around the world.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I think Gullfoss (the huge waterfall) in Iceland is one of the most breathtaking sights I've ever seen in my whole life.

教，学，和分享

I'm interested in many things, I love to talk about art history, language, linguistics, art philosophy, as well as anything food related!

I'm fluent in both Chinese and English and have been learning French on and off for 8 years, I would be more than happy to do a language exchange.

I can also teach you how to draw if you're interested! and if you're a fellow artist, designer or just an art enthusiast, I can always give you constructive advice or critiques! :)
