About Me

"Deep down, I know I can't stand staying at the same place and just expecting something exciting to happen."

I CRAVE for travel because it gives you the chance to explore something new and exciting.

I love nature, especially the mountains. I like hiking and I also like learning new languages.

This year from March, I will start my brand-new six months in Europe as an exchange student. I would have lots of opportunities to explore europian cities.

Instead of being a typical tourist, I want to explore every city/village through PEOPLE - I want to hear their personal stories, I want to share my stories and introduce my lovely country to them.

I hope years later when I look back to these six months in Europe, it is the connection with "PEOPLE" that brings me back the memories, that makes me touched, that makes the whole journey valuable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think traveling isn't only about pure sightseeing but deep and genuine communication with the locals. It is "people" who make one's trip complete and memorable.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My female travel mates and I would bring some Taiwanese local snacks and some little surprises! We would also love to cook some traditional Taiwanese foods for you! If you want to know more about Taiwan, we would be more than happy to introduce our lovely country! Instead of putting much energy on sightseeing, we prefer spending more time with the host and sharing stories with each other :)
