About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and people in a new perspective.

ABOUT ME

Now I serve as a part-time tour guide and I enjoy the job. Since raised in the countryside, I enjoy animal's company and the peaceful atmosphere. That's why I usually go to mountains to appreciate different views to escape the hustle and bustle of cities. I have kept some kinds of pets, including an iguana, a snake, dogs, spiders, hamsters, toads,and guinea pigs. But now, I only keep two dogs.

PHILOSOPHY

Even though I have undergone some sufferings, including an operation on my backbone, I still hold a positive attitude toward life. Just live my life to the fullest. Work hard and a little bit extra. That's why I volunteer in the mountains sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One of my coworkers is the member of CS project. She really enjoys being there. And so much is her passion that I decide to follow in her footsteps.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I enjoy the company of people of different cultures. Sharing experience with each other makes me fulfilled and delighted. The surfers enrich my life.

Interests

Keeping pets and taking care of my plants really delight me at home. Also, I appreciate my friends' company to take me to the gorgeous spots in Taiwan, especially in the mountains. I am so lucky to have all these around me.

Music, Movies, and Books

When I am not hiking alfresco, I enjoy seeing movies in the cinema or renting a video to enjoy at home. Gump Forest is one of my favorites. Old melodies intrigue me when I am alone and need some peace in mind. However, to keep up with my kids, aged 21and 18, I have to listen to their pop music--every day.
Being a Taiwanese, I find it a calling to understand Taiwan well. I spend some time exploring the history, the geology, and customs in Taiwan.
