ABOUT ME

# TAIWANESE. #

I'm Fen(also known as Xenia),from TAIWAN (a country has its own passport/government, though we are not in un YET)
I consider myself as a caring person and a bit shy only if we meet at first time. Most time I'm talkative around my friends. I do like to meet people with humor and flexibility.

I like tea (bubble tea or oolong tea, Japanese green tea...etc), am interested in wine tasting since I live in wine region at the moment, I love every kind of cheese in France.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had couchsurfing experiences in Melbourne and Brisbane 2014, both experiences were really nice. hosts were very nice to talk to and shared their travel experiences with me. so I'm happy to help a bit when I'm available.

I had many wwoofing experiences, enjoyed talking with local host and got to know different cultures.

If you send me a couch request, tell me what do you know about Taiwan before you visit, and mention the word 'rice' to let me know you've read this through.
