ABOUT ME

Yumin:) You can call me Ava if you like. My personal character is optimism. I always see the cheerful, blissful aspect of the world. You will find me very cosy and introvert.

I was an MA student of Chinese philosophy in National Taiwan University. Recently, I moved to Netherlands and planed to get a PhD in Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

Become strong, or go home!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The most wonderful thing is: local beer! Sometimes hosts took me to local bar or party to enjoy the blissful atmosphere. I do love it, especially when it is a football night!

Interests

I love dancing, especially salsa, I can feel my soul when the music seems to settle into my every bones.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, and some of Nietzsche's writings such as The Birth of Tragedy. In addition, Chinese poetry written by The Three Lee is extremely worth reading.

Recently, I was reading THE PICTURE of DORIAN GRAY. So marvelous!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Never thinking about animals can be buskers, I felt so amazed when in Zakopane seeing a dog sitting alone on the ground with a jar. This dog did nothing more than sitting, but most pedestrians passing by would throw money into its jar. I believed it earned much more money than any other human buskers. This indeed interested me!
