Hi, I'm Jade. I was born and raised in Taiwan and currently live in beautiful Vancouver, Canada. I love meeting people from all over the world and learning about different cultures and perspectives.

From 2016 to 2021, I was an active Couchsurfing host and guest. Those five years were full of meaningful connections, spontaneous adventures, and memorable conversations, all built on trust, openness, and a shared curiosity about humanity. Couchsurfing has shown me the magic of human connection, and I'm always excited to keep that spirit alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been part of the Couchsurfing community for 10 years. A few years ago, I lost access to my original profile and stepped away from the platform for a while, partly due to the introduction of the membership fee. Recently, I've decided to return and reconnect with fellow travelers who share the same spirit of openness and adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cared for my dad’s dog during the last nine months of her life while she battled cancer. It was a tough time but also deeply meaningful. Through the experience, I got to know her and myself on a much deeper level. It was my first time having a dog, and the bond we formed was truly special. She will always have a place in my heart.
