Hello, I'm Remi 👋

I'm a quirky little person from a beautiful island called Taiwan.

I'm creative but not artistic. (at all...)
I'm imaginative but not inventive. (I wish!)

I like blue sky without a cloud and blue sea with just a boat.
I like the smell of rain and the drowsiness of hot summer day afternoon.
I like the number 37 because I like three and seven and I don't know how to choose between them. But I don't like 73.

In short,
I'm me.

And a non-smoker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people and also I want to get local instead of just visiting tourist spots.

(I'd be super glad if the host could show me around! If not, it's totally fine with me.)

Interests

I love all the animals. My uni was close to Taipei (our capital) zoo. It was always nice to volunteer at there. I've helped out at a dog shelter twice. And I want to be a dinosaur!

Walking and exploring and hiking are kinda a package deal for me. Maybe photography should be included as well.

Besides all of the above, I also like to contemplating about the meaning of life and human existence. I'm interested in psychology and philosophy and the unknown.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some basic Chinese words and sentences if you're up for a challenge, haha. (I'm talking about writing them!)

I'd love to learn about local cultures, dark histories, or just any fun stuff.

I'd like to share with you about my lovely country Taiwan also known as Formosa. I'd also like to share my randomness with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Interesting stories from my childhood and my family. Most of them are funny...in my opinion hahahaha

My respect and politeness and awkwardness. (If you find me smiling a lot, that means I'm very nervous. If you find me talking too much, that means I'm very very nervous. If you find me saying ok to everything, that means I'm very very very NERVOUS!!!)

And of course, candies from Taiwan!
Or fridge magnets!
Or a bag of polluted air from our city centre! JK. (but seriously, if you want that, let me know)
