ABOUT ME

Hi! 你好!Merhaba! I am Yen from Taiwan 🇹🇼
I consider myself a kind, simple and easygoing girl^^.
My major is Hiking (nah jk, seriously it's Turkish Language and Culture).

I enjoy living an adventurous life and I like going hiking. I've been to more than 40 "Baiyue"(Mountains below 3,000m in TW) and I believe that the most beautiful scene you could found in Taiwan is probably in the mountains.

TO DO LIST
Go to famous hiking trail like PCT(Pacific Crest Trail, USA) as much as I can.
Cycle across continents.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. To explore different cultures by making friends from all over the world.
2. I’d love to hear some of your thought-provoking insights on anything—surprise me!
3. Don’t let my English brain go rusty and my Turkish already is lol
4. Last but not least, I want to share my country Taiwan with everyone, especially those who are not familiar with it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

#Solo trip experience
When I was 16 and I was obsessed with the concept of being a backpacker, so l decided to go to a solo-trip for 14 days in Vietnam at the age of 19, the very first time to travel only myself.
And the craziest things that I've done in Vietnam was driving the motorcycle without license lol
