ABOUT ME

I just graduated from college, and I spent the summer far away from academia making bread for a local bakery. Now I'm headed to Taipei to continue studying Chinese and to have adventures, which I'm in constant pursuit of.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Because I'm about to move to Taipei and have no apartment yet, I cannot offer any couch. Nor can I offer any advice about the city; I'd gladly take some though! In the future, I hope to be able to offer a couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no couchsurfing experience myself. I've stayed over my sister's house when she's hosted couchsurfers in the past.
