Hi, I am Pamelo. Linda was my old name which my kindergarten teacher gave to me. Pamelo is my new English name which my friend give to me on 2023. She said it is more suitable for me.

I come from Taiwan where people are very nice and friendly, also there has a lots of awesome views. I like to make friends and I hope there are many friends all over the world. My English is not very well but I want to practice with people face to face. Talking to people is the reason why I want to improve my English. I am shy and most time I am very quiet. I am not good at talking but I am good at listening, knowing people's story is my favorite thing.

Everything new to me makes me exciting. I like adventure and try everything I have never done before. I volunteer at the Fire Department as a paramedic in my free time. I love helping people and am willing to contribute myself to society. I’m also a fan of the gift economy philosophy. I believe that items are meant to be used, not owned, and skills are meant to be shared and taught.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a good way to experience local culture. When I am traveling, I love to talk to local people, I think that is the best way to knowing this place deeply. I like to have a deep talk with people. That's how people get connections. People is always the only reason that I return to a same place. Here is a magic place that I can meet amazing people who like to take adventure and like to share everything. I used to be a CouchSurfer myself and have met some truly kind and generous people along the way. I became a host on 2022, and it has been a wonderful journey ever since.

Interests

I love to play basketball since I was a kid. Until now, I play basketball with friends every Thursday. I love to travel. I love to explore beautiful scenery and talk to different travelers. I think every travelers has a lot of amazing stories can share. I start to diving since 2016. It is amazing under the sea. Peace and silent. I like to go bouldering. I can feel a sense of accomplishment after doing bouldering.

Teach, Learn, Share

Introduce your country and culture to me, and share what your favorite things are. I enjoy listening and love hearing stories. I’m into deep conversations and can also talk to you about Taiwan. I’m learning how to become a balloon twister. I can fold balloons into different shapes, like flowers or puppies, and give them as gifts. If you’re interested, I can teach you how to do it too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you interesting in Chinese, I can teach you. If you come to Taiwan, I can hang out with you, being your not very professional guide =)
