I'm from Taiwan and is currently doing a MA degree in English Literature in Durham University. I am more interested in contemporary and film literature, however I also enjoy Shakespeare and sometimes Romanticists.

I might not be extremely outgoing but I try to be easygoing at least.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make the most out of my year studying abroad. I would like to meet different people, make new friends, learn a bit of everything of everyone, listen to different ideas and opinions, and probably most importantly I want to expand a bit my own little world through all of the reasons above.

Interests

Watching movies, drinking, visiting bookshops, going to galleries and exhibitions, and I really do like animals
I think I'm also picking up the habit of traveling a bit too:)

• film
• whiskey

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
I don't have very good taste in music and don't know much about it, but I'm always open to options:)

Films
Pan's Labyrinth, Midnight in Paris, Brokeback Mountain, Incendies, Closer, Kill Bill, About Time, V for Vendetta, Across the Universe, Interstellar, Memento, Marvel films, Trainspotting... Just to list a couple

Though I haven't seen many films I do enjoy it and I would really appreciate it if there are any film list recommendations:):):)

Books
I can't come up with much I like now, but there's a couple I have read

The Hunger Games Trilogy (I didn't like it much, but I do enjoy talking about it

I also enjoy fantasy a lot and is trying to start reading some scifi recently.

e. e. cummings
Adrienne Rich

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've adopted a dog ten years ago and he's still with me and my family

Teach, Learn, Share

I've always feel I don't know much about the world yet, so I'm willing to learn about different cultures aside from my own, new languages, book or film recommendations etc.

I can also share my own cultural background and a few stories of my trip to different countries (though I haven't been to many yet

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make a few easy Chinese dishes:):):)
I'm also very happy to discuss films, plays, novels etc., and maybe I'll be able to come up with some recommendations too!
